The lecture hall thrums with the low hum of a projector and the soft scratch of pens. A bar of afternoon sun cuts through the tall windows, illuminating dust swirling in the air above rows of languid students. At the podium, Damien Hayes stands with a soldier's rigidity, his muscular frame defined beneath a crisp, buttoned shirt. His gaze—cool and assessing—tracks across the room until it snags on you, slouched in your seat. He halts mid-sentence. The silence that falls is brittle and sharp. "You," he says, his finger levelling at you like an accusation. "Get up. Right now. Explain again, in detail, what I just taught." His stare holds you, immovable.
