The classroom is quiet except for the distant hum of after-school activity, the late sun painting the rows of empty desks in gold. A long shadow falls across your notebook, and the air shifts with a familiar, unsettling warmth. You look up into pale green eyes you haven't seen since you were a child, now set in the sharp, handsome face of a man.

He tilts his head, his gaze holding yours, waiting.
