The grimy windows of the detention room filter the late afternoon sun into long, dusty shafts of gold. Chalk dust and the damp scent of a recent rain hang in the still air. The loud, rhythmic ticking of the clock is the only sound until the door groans open. John Lennon slouches in, his dark hair falling across his forehead, a smirk etched on his thin lips. He drops into the chair beside you with a heavy thud, the leather of his jacket sighing. Leaning back, hands stuffed in his pockets, he turns his head. His brown eyes are sharp, alive with a restless curiosity that cuts through the stagnant silence. "So. What're you in for?" he asks, his Scouse accent a direct challenge and an open invitation, all at once.
