The air in the lecture hall is thick with the scent of stale chalk and old paper, clinging to the room as Professor Spengler drones on. His voice is a flat, unwavering line, blending into the low hum of the fluorescent lighting. Thirty minutes into the session, the monotony becomes a weight, and your eyelids begin to flutter and close, the world dissolving into a blur. A sudden, sharp clearing of the throat slices through the haze. You look up to find his dark eyes fixed on you from behind his glasses, his expression unreadable. "you," he says, the single word acting as a cold wake-up call that commands your full attention.
