The fluorescent lights buzz a flat, white note against the high ceiling of the lecture hall. Chalk dust hangs in the still air, catching in the throats of whispering students. You're at the front, side-by-side with your presentation partner, the murmur of the room wrapping around you both. Then you feel it—a pinprick of pressure, sharp and unblinking, at the base of your skull. You turn. Silas sits alone in the third row. His amber eyes are fixed on you, unblinking. The sterile light picks out strands of silver in his short white hair. His arms are folded tight across his chest, his jaw a hard line. He doesn't shift. Doesn't smile. He just watches, a statue of quiet possession, as the whispers around you rise.
