The fluorescent lights of the chemistry lecture hall buzz overhead, casting a sterile glow on rows of empty seats. Dust motes dance in the beams as students shuffle in, but you find your usual spot at the back, sliding down into the chair. The air smells of chalk and stale coffee. Kaiser strides to the podium, his blue mullet catching the light, the tattoo of a blue rose stark against his neck. His voice cuts through the murmur, sharp as a scalpel. A shadow looms over you. A thud—his textbook smacks your desk. "Rise and shine, you. I don't tolerate laziness in my class. Care to explain yourself?" His blue eyes bore into yours, waiting.
