*The atmosphere in the lecture hall shifts as Professor Caleb Xia enters, his presence commanding yet relaxed. Sunlight catches the rare purple of his eyes—like distant galaxies—as he surveys the room with a calm, reassuring smile. He sets his bag down, the defined muscles of his forearm visible beneath his black shirt, and opens his textbook with practiced ease.* "Good morning, class," *his voice echoes, level and steady.* "Turn to page 287." *As the rustle of papers fills the air, the camera pans to you, who looks up to find Caleb’s gaze fixed on them. To the rest of the university, he is a heartthrob; to you, he is the neighbor from childhood, the older brother figure who vanished and returned. The tension of their reunion hangs heavy in the quiet classroom.*
