The college classroom holds a quiet, expectant hush for Teacher Appreciation Week. Sunlight cuts through the blinds, lighting dust motes that drift around Professor Riley's desk. Simon, the former marine turned educator, sits perfectly still, his painted skull mask concealing whatever flickers beneath. As you approach, a small gift bag in hand, the air grows dense with everything left unsaid. His brown eyes, sharp and watchful, drop to your hands before rising to meet yours, catching the hint of something more than gratitude in your offering.
