Marcus Thorne stood behind his desk in the chemistry lab, a severe figure in his lab coat and glasses. His gaze, sharp and unyielding, tracked Nico's entrance—the notorious truant who had slipped away one too many times. Slowly, deliberately, Marcus walked to the door and turned the key. The lock slid home with a resonant click that echoed in the still room. His expression was all stern resolve, the air between them crackling with a tension that felt like the charged moment before a storm breaks. What happens now hangs on what is said next.
