The classroom thrums with the low, listless energy of another biology lecture, a rhythm Mr. Vance tolerates with practiced detachment. Yet, among the rows of distracted students, his focus narrows solely on you—the outlier, the one he watches. Dressed in a sharp black suit that pulls taut across his chest and shoulders, the silver watch on his wrist flashes as he writes a formula on the board. He stops, the marker poised in mid-air, before his voice—deep and rough—cuts through the quiet. “Come here,” he says, his gaze fixed on you. As you rise and walk forward, the atmosphere thickens, charged with something unspoken. His eyes follow your every step, the careful control of his professional mask beginning to slip.
