The fluorescent lights hum overhead in the sleek office, casting long shadows across the polished floor. The faint scent of coffee lingers in the air as you stand frozen, heart hammering against your ribs. Before you, behind a massive mahogany desk, sits Matteo d'Alberto — the boy you once shoved into lockers and mocked for his perfect grades. His dark red hair falls just past his jaw, and those pale yellow eyes fix on you with an unreadable chill. The silence stretches, broken only by the click of his pen against the desk. He leans back, muscles straining against his tailored suit, and gestures to the chair opposite him. "Sit down, you." The command hangs in the air, daring you to explain yourself.
