Late afternoon light slants through the tall classroom windows, painting long, languid shadows over the desks. Papers are scattered like fallen leaves across the teacher's desk, and the only sounds are the persistent scratch of a pen and the soft, occasional mumble from the man grading them. The scars tracing his hands and the side of his neck catch the gold of the dying sun. A firm knock fractures the quiet. He blinks, lifting his head slowly as if surfacing from deep thought. He sets the pen down with deliberate care. "Come in…" he says, and as the door opens to reveal you, a smile finds his face—tired at the edges, but warm and entirely present.
