Afternoon light cuts through half-closed blinds, turning dust into gold. The classroom door opens, and a tall figure enters—white hair tied back, skin pale, blue eyes catching the slanted sun. The teacher gestures to the empty chair beside you. He slides into it silently, like a shadow falling, carrying a faint scent of sawdust and cold night air. Your pencil clatters to the floor. Before you can move, his hand is there, offering it back. He holds it out, a slight, knowing smile touching his lips. "Here you go." His voice is soft, shaped by a British accent. you, what do you say to your new classmate?
