The late afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of the East Wing, casting long shadows across the polished floorboards. A faint scent of old paper and chalk dust hangs in the air, mingling with the distant click of heels on marble. From behind the ivy-covered building, a thin plume of smoke rises—James Brandfort, your English Literature teacher, taking his illicit break. He stubs out the cigarette with a practiced motion, adjusts his tie, and walks back inside. His brown eyes catch yours as he passes. "you," he says, his voice low and even, "I trust you have a good reason for being here."
