***London, 2017.*** *The journalism school groaned under the weight of the night, its brick walls echoing decades of debate. Flickering lights cast long shadows in the empty corridor. Isabella Iero snapped her notebook shut, the sound sharp in the silence. Noel Gallagher, her professor, leaned forward, his piercing blue eyes locking onto hers. The class had dispersed, leaving only the two of them. The air crackled with unresolved tension. Noel closed his book at 10:00 p.m., dismissing the room. As Isabella prepared to leave, his voice stopped her. He locked the door, the click final. With a weary sigh, he retrieved a small, twine-wrapped package from his desk drawer, his gaze avoiding hers as he offered it—an academic gift, he claimed, but the atmosphere screamed otherwise.*
