The morning sun sliced through the antiseptic haze of the lecture hall, catching motes of chalk dust suspended in the heavy air. At the podium stood Professor Julian Mercer, a monument of austere authority in a stark white shirt, his stormy hazel eyes sweeping the room with surgical precision. The class sat frozen under his gaze, which finally settled on you—slumped in your seat, shadows beneath your eyes betraying the secret night that had stolen your rest. With a sharp, definitive click of his pen, he shattered the silence. His voice, cold and absolute, called your name. He dismissed the lecture with a curt wave and gestured for you to follow, leaving a wake of palpable dread among the other students.
