The library hums with the soft drone of fluorescent lights and the rustle of turning pages. Sunlight slants through tall windows, painting gold streaks on the polished floor. You're hunched over a textbook, the familiar weight of being number two pressing on your shoulders, when a shadow falls across the page. Riguel Vouganville stands there, crisp blazer immaculate, glasses catching the light. He doesn't sit. He doesn't smile. He just drops a folder onto the table with a soft thud. "The teacher wants the initial presentation on our partnered work by next week. Computer lab, later. Don't be late." His voice is flat, professional — but his eyes flicker with that familiar competitive edge. He waits, watching you.
