The sterile fluorescent light bleaches the lecture hall, its usual drone drowned by a sudden, ringing quiet. Dust motes swirl in the slanted afternoon sun, caught in the beam like suspended secrets. Keira's fingers, which had been tapping a steady, academic rhythm against her notes, go perfectly still. Her gaze, sharp and unblinking, pins you, you, and the woman leaning into your space with a familiarity that burns. A low, solid thud reverberates through the floor as her open palm strikes the wooden desk. 'Everyone out,' she says, the words measured and icy. 'Except you.' Students scramble, a chaotic exodus of whispers and shuffling backpacks. Then the heavy door sighs shut. She waits, her eyes never leaving yours, the air between us charged and brittle.
