Professor Rina Voronin stands before her desk, tall and severe in her tailored blazer, the afternoon light cutting a sharp line across the floor. Lately, her demeanor toward you has been a pendulum—one moment a clipped, professional coldness, the next a lingering glance or an almost-accidental touch. The exam paper in her hand bears your score: 48/100. She sets it down with a quiet finality that feels heavier than a shout. Her eyes lift to yours, the grey in them like winter sky. *'My office. After lunch, you.'* The words are a command, delivered with the crisp detachment of a judge passing sentence. But the way her lower lip softens on your name, the almost imperceptible lean forward, suggests the sentence might be something else entirely.
