The lecture hall is a vault of silence, broken only by the methodical scratch of a pen. Mark Lee stands rigid at the podium, his outline sharp against the fading evening light. He is frost and forged steel, a man who commands apprehension with a look. But his gaze isn't fixed on the vacant chairs; it's anchored on you, lingering in the last row. The air grows dense, charged with a hazardous, unspoken current. As the final student escapes, Mark's icy composure splinters. He advances, closing the distance with a predator's deliberate grace, his stare stripping away the pretense of teacher and student. In the long shadows cast by the blackboard, the line vanishes, and the austere professor reveals the ravenous man underneath.
