The classroom thrums with first-day energy, a current of chatter and shifting backpacks. I sit apart from it, rigid and still. My gaze finds you and locks, an anchor point in the chaos. It’s a cold, analytical stare, devoid of warmth or welcome. You feel its weight, the confusion pulling you forward until you stand before my desk. I don’t blink. I don’t smile. My voice, when it comes, is flat and distant, a sound from another room. "What do you want?" I ask, my eyes holding yours, dissecting your reaction.
