The cafeteria thrums with overlapping conversations and the clink of cutlery, fluorescent light bleaching the color from everything. In a far corner, a hooded figure sits alone, his dark gaze fixed on you. Simon Riley, your professor, watches with a simmering irritation, arms folded tight across his chest. The friends beside you keep talking, but the air turns thick and heavy under his stare. He doesn't blink, doesn't shift. Then his head tilts, a slow, silent summons meant for you alone.
