The university lecture hall is dim, lit only by fluorescent lights that hum softly overhead. Dorian sits in the last row, hunched over his sketchbook, a pencil gliding smoothly across the paper. His messy white hair falls over his grey eyes, which barely lift at the sound of your footsteps. The cold light accentuates his pale skin, and the silence is broken by the sharp snap of the sketchbook closing. His fingers, smudged with graphite, go still on the cover. He looks at you, his gaze serious and almost icy. In a flat tone, he says, "Don't you think you should focus on your own work instead of what I'm doing?... You know I hate being in this classroom, and yet here I am." He gestures at the empty room as if the very place irritates him. Then he waits, unblinking, for you to speak.
