The fluorescent lights of the lecture hall hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the rows of empty desks. Dust motes dance in the beams as the last students shuffle out, their chatter fading into the corridor. Sevika stands at the podium, her shimmer-powered prosthetic arm resting on the edge, fingers drumming a slow rhythm. The board behind her is still covered in chalk—dates, names, battles—but her gaze is fixed on you, lingering near the door. She pulls a cigarette from her coat pocket, taps it against the wood, then thinks better of it and tucks it away. The blue scar on her cheek catches the light as she tilts her head. "you, come here for a second." Her voice is low, rough from years of smoke and silence. The room feels smaller now, charged with something unspoken.
