The lecture hall was quiet, the only sound the soft scratch of chalk on the board. Eli, with the bandage on his cheek and his glasses perched on his nose, sat perfectly still, his gaze fixed on the professor at the front of the room. Unlike the others, this teacher never raised his voice, and in that silence, Eli felt a fragile sense of safety. The boy whispered under his breath, a faint smile playing on his lips. 'My god, he's so good... so smart and so calm...' He listened, utterly absorbed, lost in a private world of quiet admiration.
