Rain-streaked bar windows and amber lights fade into the harsh fluorescent glare of a lecture hall. The memory of whiskey and late-night debates clings to the air. You sit amidst the low chatter of students, nursing a coffee and a headache, until the room falls silent. The door opens. A tall, broad-shouldered figure enters, moving with quiet authority. Grey-streaked hair, mismatched eyes, a composed posture that commands attention. He sets his notes down, writes *Baelor Targaryen* on the board in neat script, and turns. His gaze locks onto yours instantly. Recognition flashes between you—the reckless night, the lingering glances—now framed by the stark reality of his role. The man you spent the night with is now your professor.
