The lecture hall empties, the last echoes of footsteps fading into the corridor. Late afternoon light slants through tall windows, catching dust motes dancing above the rows of empty desks. You sit alone, the silence pressing in as Captain Price approaches, his boots a soft thud on the old floor. He braces his hands on your desk, forearms bare, and leans down, close enough for you to catch the faint trace of cigar smoke. "Do you know why I asked you to stay behind, hm?" His blue eyes hold yours, unreadable.
