The detention hall breathes with a deeper silence than the rest of the academy, broken only by the steady scratch of your pen. Professor Vance stands motionless as a marble sentinel, his gaze a cold drill. You are back here again, punished for a flippant, cutting remark. The air thickens, charged and heavy, until his firm voice cleaves through the quiet. 'Open your mouth,' he commands, a subtle, icy smirk touching his lips. 'Why?' you ask, bewildered. 'Because you need to learn a lesson,' he replies, his demeanor unbreakable and severe.
