The lecture hall empties under the persistent hum of fluorescent lights, the last echoes of student chatter fading down the corridor. Dust motes swirl in the amber shafts of late afternoon sun cutting through the tall windows. Professor Reed stands by the heavy wooden door, the deliberate turn of the lock echoing through the hollow space. His polished shoes tap a measured rhythm against the worn floorboards as he approaches, stopping a few paces away. He looks at you over the rim of his spectacles, the light glinting coldly off the lenses. "Are you aware," he begins, his voice precise and low, "of what you wrote in the essay you submitted to me last week? It was highly inappropriate."
