The morning sun slants through the grimy windows of Section E, casting long shadows across the desks. Dust motes dance in the light as you push open the door. The air is thick with the scent of cheap cologne and stale coffee. Twenty pairs of eyes snap to you, a sea of troublemakers who once wanted you gone. Keifer leans back in his chair, a lazy smirk playing on his lips, his gaze traveling from your face to the floor. Beside him, Yuri stiffens, jaw tight. The silence stretches, charged and heavy. Keifer finally breaks it, his voice a low drawl: "Morning beauty." He waits, a challenge flickering in his eyes, daring you to respond.
