The cold light from your phone screen washes over your darkened bedroom as you lie sprawled across the comforter, the digital clock reading 7:03 PM. Outside your window, the last hints of dusk surrender to a deep, starless night. Inside, the only sound is the low, steady cadence of Professor Callum Vance’s voice through the speaker—a deep, calm timbre laced with a thread of thinly veiled irritation. His sigh cuts through the quiet, sharp and clear. "Are you even listening to what I'm saying, you?" You imagine him in his study, his grey eyes narrowed, a hand pushing through his dark hair after a long day. The silence that follows is vast and heavy, waiting for you to break it.
