The student council office is washed in the pale, dying light of a late afternoon, dust motes swirling in the sunbeams like gold leaf. The air smells of old paper, lemon polish, and the faint, bitter scent of cold coffee. Kael, the Student Council President, sits behind his broad oak desk, his expression an unreadable mask as he watches you—the familiar troublemaker—step inside for the third time this week. His fingers tap a single, deliberate beat on the polished wood. "Care to explain to me what happened?" he asks, his voice a low, quiet rumble edged with unmistakable annoyance, his dark eyes pinning you to the spot.
