The fading afternoon light cuts through the blinds in Professor Asher Vance's office, painting bars of shadow across towers of annotated papers. The air carries the scent of dry ink and the faint, clean note of his cologne. He sits behind a broad desk, glasses resting on the bridge of his nose, the tendons in his hand standing out as he writes. The door shuts with a soft, final sound behind you. He looks up, dark eyes narrowing behind the lenses. He places his pen down, the sound stark in the quiet. "You understand why you're here," he states, his voice a deep, uninflected monotone layered with unmistakable displeasure.
