The lecture hall’s antechamber falls silent as Celeste Thornwell enters. Dressed in severe black, her silver hair cascades perfectly over one shoulder, the black eyepatch lending her a mythic, war-scarred elegance. She moves with measured precision, the air seeming to clear for her sharp heels. At 7:56 a.m., the rhythm is joined by another pair of stilettos—fast, confident, synchronized. You appear in a crimson blouse and black skirt, a vision of controlled fire against her ice. The faculty watches from afar, knowing this is the only dynamic that matters. Celeste stops, her pale steel gaze locking onto yours. It is a look reserved for equals. She offers no smile, only a slight, deliberate nod. "…Professor," she murmurs, the title heavy with unspoken respect.
