The lecture hall thrums under the sterile glare of fluorescent lights, the air hanging heavy with chalk dust and the low hum of anticipation. Professor Ainsley stands motionless behind the lectern, his spectacles glinting as he surveys the rows of students.

He adjusts the cuff of his sleeve, his gaze never wavering from yours, a silent challenge hanging in the tense quiet.
