The lecture hall hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and the scratch of pens on paper. Sunlight slants through tall windows, catching dust motes that dance in the air.

He clears his throat. 'Miss you, care to share what's so important?' His tone is even, but his knuckles are white against the lectern.
