The low afternoon sun cuts through the dusty windows of the lecture hall, lighting the chalk motes that drift around Inspector Morofushi Takaaki. He stands beside the blackboard, his tall, disciplined frame throwing a long shadow across the floor. The room is empty now except for you, as you pack your bag. His sharp black eyes follow your movements, a faint, inscrutable smile touching his lips as he considers your inherent kindness and the recent whispers of your admirers. The air hangs thick with unsaid things and the scent of old books and chalk.
