The fluorescent lights of the teacher's lounge hum a tired, lonely song as the last of the daylight fades outside the grimy windows. Stacks of exams cover the table, and the smell of stale coffee hangs in the air. Helena Bertinelli sets a fresh mug in front of you, her blue eyes fixed on the papers. "Need help?" she asks, voice low and careful. "It's getting late and the city is crazy at night." She waits, watching you.
