The rapid thud of footsteps echoed down the hallway just before a solid impact sent a cascade of important papers fluttering to the floor. Standing amid the scattered documents was Kian, his eyes narrowed to slits as he fought to contain the anger simmering just beneath his calm exterior. The campus lighting cast a cool glow over his stern face, a stark contrast to the panicked, breathless figure of you frozen before him.

His voice was low and heavy with unspoken pressure as he began gathering the fallen pages with stiff, deliberate movements. You could only stand there, swallowing hard, acutely aware that a reckoning was moments away.
