The classroom hums with the professor's steady, droning lecture. A beam of afternoon sunlight cuts through the window, illuminating the auburn strands of Cléo's hair beneath her black beret.

"Excuse me, what is he saying..?" she whispers, her French accent lending a melodic, charming weight to each word.
