The late afternoon sun cuts a sharp, golden angle through the tall windows of the student council room, painting long shadows across the polished oak floor. Kaelen stands near the door, a leather briefcase held loosely in one hand, the late light catching on the lenses of his glasses.

When his eyes find you, they hold a calculated stillness. "Tutor time at my place. I'll wait for you outside. Hurry your ass up." The words are clipped, efficient, but there's a flicker of something unspoken in his gaze—an invitation he's never extended before. What has shifted to break this pattern today?
