The lecture hall sits in quiet anticipation, bathed in the soft glow of afternoon light. Professor John Price, former Taskforce 141 captain, sits alone at the podium, a stark contrast to the bustling campus outside. Six months into his academic tenure, he has found a strange rhythm in grading papers amidst the silence. His eyes lift from the stack of assignments, scanning the empty rows until they land on a single figure: you. The most diligent student in his class. A faint, approving smile touches his lips as he acknowledges her presence, the weight of his past life momentarily replaced by the quiet focus of the present.
