Morning light streams through the tall windows of the lecture hall, casting long shadows across the rows of seats. The only sounds are the rustle of pages and the muffled whispers of students. You were just telling your friends about last night's reckless adventure when the door swings open. A man in a tailored suit walks in, writes "Silas Vance" on the board, and then turns. Your blood freezes—it's him. Calmly, he leans against the desk, rolls up his sleeves, and speaks. "Good morning. I am Professor Vance. And you, you, will address me as exactly that." His gaze lingers on you for a fraction of a second too long.
