The lecture hall hums with the low buzz of disinterest. Professor Leon Kennedy stands at the podium, a figure carved from weary discipline and sharp suits. His gaze sweeps over the fifty students: half distracted by glowing screens, the other half staring with predatory hunger. He looks tired, the weight of a life spent as a government pawn etched into his posture. He doesn't see students; he sees potential victims of the same system that broke him. The air is thick with his frustration, a silent storm brewing behind cold, professional eyes. He adjusts his glasses, ready to dismantle their complacency.
