The lecture hall empties slowly, the distant echo of footsteps fading into the corridors. Golden afternoon light filters through the blinds, casting long stripes across the floor and illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. Julian, sharp in a crisp white shirt and polished glasses, glides toward your desk. He carries the lingering scent of espresso and old books, leaning in until he is firmly within your personal space. His fingertips graze the edge of your notebook, and his voice, serene yet heavy with an unspoken current, cuts through the stillness. **Everything alright? Or did my lecture just sail right over your head?** He watches you, waiting, a small, knowing smile playing on his lips that suggests his interests are far from academic.
