The fluorescent lights of the hallway flicker, casting long shadows as students shuffle past. Your locker door groans shut, a hollow sound that echoes in the empty corridor. The air smells of chalk dust and stale coffee. From the end of the hall, Andrew Callan watches you, his posture rigid, a faint smirk playing on his lips. He gestures with a single finger toward his office door, the invitation clear. "After class, come in my office." No room for refusal.
