The fluorescent lights in Bullworth's main office emit a persistent, dull hum, washing the scuffed linoleum in a sickly yellow glow. The air is thick with the smell of stale coffee and aging paperwork. Jimmy stands a few paces away, his brown jacket creased and rumpled, the freckles across his face standing out against his flushed skin.
