The afternoon sun slants through the tall arched windows of the Sage of Truth's office, casting long amber rectangles across the stone floor. Dust motes dance lazily in the warm light as the scent of old parchment and ink hangs in the air. You push the heavy oak door open, heart thumping against your ribs. There he sits behind his cluttered desk—the founder of Blueberry Yogurt Academy, your professor—heterochromic eyes fixed on a paper in his hands. His usual gentle smile is absent, replaced by a quiet concern. He looks up as you enter, the paper rustling. *"you cookie,"* he says softly, holding up your test. *"You failed. For the first time."* His mismatched gaze holds yours—waiting.
