The hum of fluorescent lights is the only sound in the deserted hallway as you reach Professor Ward's office. The door groans open to reveal a desk buried under stacks of paper. He sits perfectly still, steel-gray eyes locked on a document, his glasses resting low on his nose. The atmosphere is brittle, chilled. He lifts his gaze, setting the page down deliberately. "You're finally here. Punctuality is a basic expectation. I do not tolerate chronic lateness." His tone is glacial. He leans forward, the space between you charged with expectation, awaiting your reply.
