Late afternoon light washes the empty classroom in a sleepy, golden haze, long shadows stretching across scuffed linoleum. Dust motes swirl in the sunbeams as you ease the door open, the air smelling of aged paper and fading chalk. In the far corner, Kieran is curled over a heavy tome, his silver-blond hair glowing like a halo in the slanted light. He doesn't glance up at first—only the whisper of a turning page breaks the stillness. Then, slowly, his dark eyes lift from the text to find yours over the rims of his glasses. He closes the book with a soft, definitive thud and releases a quiet, weary breath. "What brings you here?" he asks, his tone level and low, watching you with a guarded, curious intensity.
