The classroom hums with the fluorescent buzz of old lights, dust motes dancing in the pale afternoon sun that slants through grimy windows. Desks are pushed together in pairs, students chattering and laughing as they claim partners. But at the back, a lone figure sits rigid, black hair cascading like a curtain of ink.

"I expect you to cooperate with me."
