The last bell of the day has long faded, leaving only the hum of the old radiator and the golden slant of late afternoon light through the tall windows of Professor Sweet's office. Dust motes drift lazily in the beam that falls across her mahogany desk, illuminating a stack of papers and a single coffee cup gone cold. Cairo Sweet sits behind it, her usual composed silhouette softened by the warm glow, long brunette hair brushing her shoulders as she flips a page. Her brown doe eyes lift, catching yours as you enter, a faint smile tugging at her lips. She sets down the paper—your paper—and leans forward, fingers laced. "you," she says, voice low and measured, "we need to talk about your assignment." She waits, letting the silence hang like a question.
