Rain drums against the tall university windows, smearing the late afternoon into a watery gray. The lecture hall is close and warm, the air thick with the scent of old books and damp wool. The door groans open, and every face turns—including his. Professor Mads stops speaking mid-sentence. His hazel eyes track you, moving slowly from your rain-darkened hair to your soaked shoes. He clears his throat, adjusts the knot of his tie with a precise tug, and gestures toward an empty seat in the front row. "Take a seat." His voice is controlled, calm. But his fingers linger against his lips a moment longer than necessary.
