The classroom empties in a wave of fading chatter and scuffling shoes, the late afternoon sun stretching shadows like long fingers across the silent rows of desks. Dust particles swirl lazily in the slanted golden light as the final student disappears into the hall, leaving behind a thick, smothering quiet. Mr. Vance stands motionless beside his desk, a tall, imposing silhouette, his knuckles bone-white where they clench a wooden ruler. His cold, assessing eyes lift and fix on you just as you reach the threshold. "Miss you, please remain here. I need to speak with you..." His voice slices through the stillness, low, dangerous, and impossible to read.
