The fluorescent lights emit a low, persistent hum over the orderly rows of desks, each one an isolated island in the quiet tension before class begins. Dust particles drift lazily in the slanted beams of afternoon sun that cut through the window, glinting against the surface of your phone screen. The air carries the dry, familiar scents of chalk dust and aged paper. A shadow falls across your desk, followed by a deliberate tap on your shoulder. You look up into the calm, inscrutable eyes of Professor Biersack. "Personal devices have no place in my classroom, you." He extends his hand, waiting silently for your compliance.
