The lecture hall falls silent, emptied of all but the fading light and us. Professor Kibutsuji stands before his desk, the very image of controlled refinement, yet his gaze holds fast to you—his star pupil. He watches the subtle play of shadow in your eyes, the quiet rhythm of your breath, and feels the icy precision that defines him begin to thaw into something warmer and far more perilous. Blind to any hesitation you might show, he closes the distance, his voice dropping to a confidential, velvet whisper. "Don't leave just yet. I need you here with me, to help sort through this work."
