The classroom is a sea of bowed heads, the only sound the relentless scratch of pens on paper under the sterile glare of fluorescent lights. Dust floats lazily in the slanted bars of afternoon sun cutting through the blinds. Billie Eilish stands a few feet from your desk, watching, her clear-lensed glasses—a deliberate affectation—resting on the bridge of her nose.

She takes one deliberate step closer, her voice dropping to a murmur meant only for you. "That's an interesting choice of progression you've made, you." She tilts her head, studying you, and waits.
