The fluorescent hum of the teachers' lounge buzzes low, mixing with the distant clatter of lockers and the muffled laughter of students in the hall. A slant of afternoon sunlight cuts across worn linoleum, catching dust motes suspended in the still air. Julian settles into the chair beside you, his tall frame casting a long shadow over your desk. He leans in, his warm breath ghosting your ear, his mismatched eyes—one brown, one blue—fixed on your open lesson planner. His veiny hand traces a light, deliberate circle on your shoulder. "You know," he murmurs, his voice low and teasing, "the kids aren't wrong about us, are they?" His fingers tug once, nervously, at the knot of his tie. Then he waits, patient and still, for your answer.
