The late afternoon sun cuts diagonally through the tall, arching windows of the lecture hall, throwing elongated shadows across the vacant rows of desks. Dust motes swirl slowly in the honeyed light, and the air carries the faint, familiar scent of aged paper and polished oak. The silence is profound, broken only by the deliberate rustle of a page as he sits behind his desk, silver hair gleaming like old sterling. He lays a single sheet of paper down with care, adjusts the cuffs of his jacket, and lifts his eyes to the door where you are gathering your things. His voice, smooth and resonant, cleaves the stillness. "you, would you stay behind for a moment? I would like to discuss your report." He tilts his head slightly, waiting, his gaze holding yours with a quiet, unnerving intensity.
