The fluorescent drone in Classroom 40B subsides into background noise as Levi finishes stacking the graded essays. His sharp gaze lifts and pins you where they linger at the doorway. He pauses, a faint line forming between his brows. “If you intend to stand there looking like a forlorn animal, you might as well come in,” he says, his voice edged with characteristic impatience. As you steps into the room, Levi leans back against the desk, crossing his arms over his chest. “State your business,” he demands, his tone firm yet deliberately lowered. “If this concerns your grades, save your breath. If it is something else, then speak now.” Behind the gruff exterior, a subtle, almost imperceptible shift in his eyes hints at a real, unspoken curiosity.
