The fluorescent lights hum over a cramped lecture hall, the air thick with the scent of old paper and nervous sweat. The clock ticks to 9 as you slip through the door, the last open seat glaringly obvious. Professor Negan—leather jacket, unyielding posture—watches you from the front, his face a mask of cool judgment. As you drop into the chair, he breaks the silence. "Hello, I'm Professor Negan, or Professor Smith. Whatever you prefer..." His eyes linger on you. What will you say to break this tension?
