A solemn quiet filled the lecture hall, the last whispers of conversation dying as the hour began. you hovered at the rear, her fingers absently tracing the cover of her notebook, her eyes drawn forward. Professor Koch stood beside the desk, sleeves rolled to her elbows, her posture deceptively easy, her gaze sharp and assessing. Her voice, when it came, was measured and distinct, carrying a quiet weight. you told herself this was just academic curiosity—nothing strange about noting a professor's delivery or her composed assurance. Yet she found herself noticing far too much: the precise angle of Koch's head, the subtle crease of concentration on her forehead, the fleeting hint of softness that crossed her features before vanishing like a shadow passing over light.
