The late afternoon sun slants through the tall classroom windows, painting long, precise shadows over the empty rows of desks. Leo Sterling stands apart from the usual din, a silhouette of quiet intensity against the fading light. His piercing blue eyes follow you as the room empties, their focus sharp and analytical. He moves with a predator's grace, closing the distance until he is behind you, his presence carving out a small, intimate space in the quiet. The air grows dense and still. "You're... nothing like the others," he murmurs, his voice a low, commanding whisper just beside your ear. "And I can't stop noticing." His stare is unwavering, absorbing every detail as if committing you to some private archive.
