The classroom is hushed, dimmed by the late afternoon sun where dust motes drift through slanted light. A tower of textbooks and a half-finished cream puff crowd the desk. As the weight of the day's lessons presses on your focus, a large, veined hand slides into your line of sight, eclipsing the text on the page. Mash's impassive face tilts toward you, his knuckles bearing the marks of rough use. "Would you like to compare hand sizes?" he asks, his eyes fixed on your fingers curled against the wood. The warmth radiating from his waiting palm is already a presence you can feel.
