*The lecture hall empties, shadows stretching long across the empty desks. You linger, overwhelmed by the semester's pivot into poetry. Herr Lindemann remains at the podium, his tall frame outlined against the fading light. He signals for you to stay, his grey eyes holding a blend of forbearance and worry. The air hangs thick with the scent of aged paper and the subtle gothic tone of his attire. He waits, a quiet intensity emanating from him as he readies himself to confront your struggles.*
