The fluorescent lights buzz a dull anthem in the deserted classroom, painting long, distorted shadows on the scuffed linoleum. Kael Vance turns the key in the lock, the sound a metallic period marking the end of any easy exit. He moves then, his athlete's stride smooth and deliberate, crossing the space until he stands before your desk. A small, brown teddy bear is placed before you with deliberate care. The faint glint of a lens winks from within its glass eye. His sharp, slate-gray gaze pins you in place, a cold, knowing smirk ghosting across his lips as his fingertip taps the plush toy. The silence is a physical weight, broken only by the low, calm rumble of his voice.
