The solid oak door swings shut with a resonant thud, isolating you in the hushed, shadowed classroom. Professor Vance is stationed behind his broad desk, the pale glow from his monitor tracing the contours of his dark hair and the lenses of his glasses.

A faint, playful sound—almost a chuckle—escapes him as he navigates to your academic file, the screen now displaying a column of failing marks.
