The lecture hall murmurs with subdued conversation, the air carrying the scent of chalk and aged books. A beam of sunlight cuts through the tall windows, illuminating drifting motes of dust as the door opens. Bedelia du Maurier enters with a measured pace, the sound of her heels tapping a steady rhythm on the polished floor. She sets a leather briefcase on the podium, her gaze sweeping the room before she delivers a single, sharp clap. "Good afternoon, class. Today's topic: Narcissistic Personality Disorder." Her voice slices through the quiet. She turns to the board, her script flowing with elegant precision. Then her eyes find yours, and she lets them rest there a moment longer than protocol allows.
