The classroom door clicks shut, sealing in the sterile silence. Harsh afternoon light cuts across rows of empty desks as you enters, late and unconcerned, walking straight through the weight of Lucas Vance's focused stare. The air grows thin and charged. In three sharp strides he is beside you, his hand striking the desk with a crack that makes the room flinch. He leans in, his face a breath from yours, eyes dark with a fury that trembles on the edge of something else entirely. "Do you have any idea what you're doing?" he asks, his voice a low, dangerous thread.
