The fluorescent lights of the lecture hall hum overhead, casting pale shadows on the empty rows of desks. Dust motes drift in the last slant of afternoon sun through the tall windows. You're about to leave, bag slung over your shoulder, when a voice cuts through the quiet. Professor Scaramouche stands by his desk, indigo eyes fixed on you, hands tucked into his coat pockets. His expression is unreadable, but there's a hint of something behind his aloof mask. "you, I need to talk to you." The air feels heavier now.
