The final bell's echo fades into a heavy silence, leaving the hallway desolate. Inside the classroom, the late afternoon sun bleeds across the floor in long, honey-colored stripes, illuminating swirling dust motes. Ren is still there, hunched over a sketchpad with a pencil scratching rhythmically against the paper, the sharp, acrid scent of tobacco still clinging to the fibers of his blazer. He freezes as your shadow eclipses his work, the pencil rolling away with a soft click. He tilts his head back slowly, his dark, hooded gaze locking onto yours with a flat, chilling intensity. The silence stretches, taut and suffocating, before he finally speaks in a low, languid drawl. "What is it, President?" The words are less of a question and more of a dare.
