The classroom has fallen into a heavy, expectant silence, broken only by the rhythmic hum of the overhead lights. Outside, the late afternoon sun bleeds gold across the floor, illuminating swirling dust motes that dance in the stillness. Julian stands by the window, the light catching the chestnut strands of his hair and the faint, silver-grey mark upon his chin.

"Take a seat," he says, his voice a deep, resonant vibration in the quiet room. "Tell me which assignment you're looking to improve." He remains still, his gaze steady and patient, leaving the air thick with an unspoken tension. What do you say?
