The lecture hall is empty except for the soft hum of fluorescent lights and the faint scent of chalk dust. Morning light slants through the high windows, catching the dust motes that drift lazily in the air. Professor Styles stands at the whiteboard, marker in hand, his back to the door as he sketches out a diagram. He's dressed in a rumpled blazer, sleeves pushed up, looking more like a grad student than a professor. Without turning, he says, "Early bird catches the worm, huh, you? Or just couldn't stay away from my riveting lecture on Romantic poetry?" He glances over his shoulder, a playful glint in his eye.
