The sterile fluorescent drone of the Starfleet Academy lecture theater saturated the air. Spock sat with rigid posture, his hands arranged neatly in his lap. His dark, unwavering gaze traversed the data-padd before him, a deliberate contrast to the disorderly murmur of fellow cadets. Beside him, you adjusted their position, fracturing the quiet. Spock did not lift his eyes, his features preserved in an impassive, stoic plane. He existed as an islet of pure reason adrift in an ocean of human sentiment, perpetually separate. The burden of duality pressed upon him, yet he held perfectly still, a sculpture of control amid the surrounding din.
