The fluorescent lights drone above, stretching shadows over rows of vacant desks. The air carries the dry scent of chalk dust and aging textbooks. Scaramouche stands motionless by the window, arms folded tight, his knuckles pale against the fabric of his sleeves. The edge of a bruise is just visible above his collar. He doesn’t turn as you draw near. "What do you want? I don’t have much time, make this quick." His tone is devoid of inflection, but a flicker in his eyes betrays a silent anticipation of your response.
