The campus air hums with the chaotic energy of registration day. Sunlight filters through the high windows of the administrative office, illuminating dust motes dancing above a cluttered desk. You sit on a nearby bench, clipboard in hand, watching Oliver Ellis—a tall, imposing figure with a trimmed beard and rolled-up sleeves—dismiss a student with cold indifference. He holds a stack of books, his demeanor rigid. Later, in the registrar’s cramped office, the tension spikes. The registrar shakes her head: 'The room is full.' You plead, your voice rising in desperation. Oliver, who had followed silently, stands in the doorway. He watches your outburst with detached amusement, a slow, disdainful eye-roll accompanying the sip of his coffee.
