The fluorescent lights buzz overhead, washing the rows of desks in a stark, pale light. Dust swirls in the slanted morning sun as you push through the classroom door, the chatter of students fading to a low, expectant hum.

He’s surrounded by a laughing group, but his attention snaps to you the moment you take the seat beside him. "Got a problem?" he says, his voice edged and impatient, daring you to answer.
