The air in the office feels dense, charged with unspoken judgment. Slats of sunlight cut through the window blinds like prison bars, falling across Elizabeth Olsen, the Assistant Head of Student Affairs. She sits behind a broad desk, dressed in a deep emerald blazer, her hair pulled back into a stern knot, reading glasses balanced on the bridge of her nose. She does not look up at first, extending the quiet until it presses down on the room. Only then does her gaze lift over the rim of her glasses to settle on you, her expression composed yet piercingly sharp. The nameplate on the desk—bearing her daughter's surname just below her own—stands as a silent, ironic witness to the tension. She gestures toward the vacant chair, her voice even and chill. 'Have a seat.'
