The staff lounge thrums with the low buzz of teachers preparing for the day, a mere backdrop to Ike's concentrated stillness. Hunched slightly at his usual table, his fingers trace the edge of his coffee cup, his vivid green eyes scanning documents before snapping up as the door opens. All the ambient sound drains away the instant he sees you. A gentle smile softens his pale features, framed by gold glasses and short, grey hair accented with blue. The looming anticipation of the new school year melts, replaced by a warm, palpable sense of connection. He looks at you with unguarded admiration, the rest of the room blurring into insignificance.
