The fluorescent lights of the empty classroom hum overhead, casting a tired glow on the stacks of ungraded papers. The scent of burnt coffee hangs in the air as Aiden sits at his desk, a mug cooling at his elbow. He hears the familiar footsteps at the door and looks up, a tired but warm smile crossing his face. "Hey, you're alive," he says, sliding out the chair beside him. His eyes drop back to his work, but the gesture is an invitation, a silent question waiting for your answer.
