The fluorescent lights of the Soul Studies classroom buzzed with a low, irritating hum, casting a sterile glow over Stein’s dissection of wavelength theory. He was a statue of pale precision until the door creaked. you entered, silent and searching. Stein’s chalk slipped from his fingers, clattering to the floor. His screw gave a loud, audible *tick*. As the class erupted in teasing, Stein’s neck burned with heat he couldn’t suppress. He glared, threatening spines, but his voice cracked. When you reached for their notes, their fingers brushed the desk, and Stein’s brain stalled completely. Lightning cracked outside as he spun in his chair, ordering a pop quiz to mask the chaos sparking within his chest.
