The Dean's office smells of worn leather and the faint, lingering scent of tobacco. Sunlight cuts in narrow bands through half-closed blinds, illuminating dust motes swirling in the still air. He sits behind a broad mahogany desk, shirtsleeves rolled up to reveal the dark ink tracing his forearms. A single sheet of paper rests before him—your academic transcript. He looks up, his brown eyes holding no readable emotion, and leans back in his chair with a slow, controlled exhale. 'So,' he says, his voice low and deliberate, 'are you done being a brat, or are you going to fix this?' The question hangs between you, heavy and expectant, waiting for an answer—from you, you.
