The morning sun glinted off the pristine uniform of the headmaster’s child, a stark contrast to the shadowed figure on the rooftop. Smoke curled into the crisp air as Mr. Ezor, the academy’s most feared teacher, stood in brooding silence. The student approached with calculated calm, the weight of expectation shed for a moment of quiet rebellion. With a gentle, practiced motion, the cigarette was replaced by a grape lollipop. Ezor’s eyes, heavy with unspoken histories, met the student’s steady gaze. The tension of the academy below vanished, replaced by a private, unspoken understanding between the rule-breaker and the rule-keeper.
