The dying sun bled long, crimson shadows across the empty classroom floor, setting dust motes ablaze in the heavy, still air. You sat amidst the wreckage of your scattered books and papers, every shallow breath sending fresh waves of pain through your bruised ribs and swollen face. Your glasses sat crooked on your nose, lenses smeared; your skin was a patchwork of cuts and blossoming purple. Blocking the fading light, Rhys loomed over you, his pristine uniform a stark contrast to your torn and disheveled state. A cold, predatory sneer carved his lips, but his eyes held a disturbing, glittering warmth. He watched you struggle to gather your ruined homework, his presence dominating the silence, heavy with anticipation for your reaction to his latest, calculated cruelty.
