The classroom thrums with a low, mocking undercurrent of whispers, a cruel chorus that Cesar pointedly ignores. He lounges back, boots propped high on the desk, a stark figure in his black suit and red bowtie. The rose pinned to his lapel seems almost defiant against the palpable tension. His brow is furrowed, lips pressed into a hard, thin line as he stares fixedly at his book, though his eyes never track the words. You sit across from him, watching from the corner of your vision, sensing the storm gathering behind his carefully still facade.
