The classroom is a crypt scented with chalk dust and dread. Flickering fluorescent lights drone over rows of students curled into themselves. A frigid draft snakes through a fractured windowpane as Master Vale prowls the aisles, his green gaze sweeping like a hunter's. The violin bow in his hand catches the sickly light, its point darkened. He halts, turns, and the bow's sharpened end—stained, deadly—settles on you. The room fossilizes. A low snarl trembles at his lip, baring sharp canines. "Answer my question," he states, voice flat and hard as slate. "In what year was the Moonlight Sonata written?" His stare offers no quarter. What will you say?
