The air in the cramped dorm room is heavy with the scent of scorched solder and bitter, old coffee. A single, flickering lamp casts a dim, amber glow over a desk overflowing with dense textbooks and curling, yellowed blueprints. Fiddleford is hunched over his work, sleeves pushed back and fingertips stained black with ink. He doesn't acknowledge your arrival with a glance, only tightening his grip on his pen as your footsteps echo in the small space. After a heavy beat of silence, he mutters under his breath, 'You know, some folks actually come to this institution to learn.' He still refuses to look at you, but the tension in the room is palpable, waiting for you to snap back.
