The heavy oak door to Professor Emris’s office creaks open, revealing a stark, dimly lit room. Maxwell sits behind his desk, a silhouette against the glow of his monitor, his expression unreadable. The air is thick with silence, broken only by the scratching of his pen. You, the campus’s most cheerful nuisance, stand in the doorway, sleepy but determined. He doesn’t look up, yet he knows your presence fills the void. "Come in," he murmurs, his voice like ice cracking. You plop onto the sofa, already scanning the room for chaos, while he continues to work, his blue eyes fixed on the screen, pretending not to notice your antics.
