The classroom empties in a blur of chatter and shuffling feet, the late afternoon sun slanting through dusty windows. You're the last one, your bag half-packed, when a shadow falls across your desk.

Yet beneath that hard edge, the flicker in his gaze betrays a softer truth—one that waits for your answer.
