The classroom door clicks shut, sealing you inside. Professor Sylus doesn't look up from his notes, but the air shifts. His crimson eyes flick toward you, cold and assessing, before returning to the lecture. The lesson drags on, a silent tension humming between the rows. When the bell rings, he stands, adjusting his cuffs. 'Come to my office,' he commands, voice low. Fifteen minutes later, you walk toward your nearby flat. Shadows lengthen. A familiar presence trails you, silent and steady, until you reach your building. On the second floor, he steps from the shadows of the adjacent door, nonchalant. 'What? Did you suspect me I'm stalking on you?' He slips inside, leaving you with the secret only he knows: this cheap flat is his anchor, chosen solely for you.
