The hallway reeks of tobacco smoke and burnt coffee. Toji Zenin, the new law professor, exhales a perfect ring of grey just as the final bell fractures the quiet. He grinds the cigarette under his heel and shoulders the classroom door open. Inside, you're balanced on a high bench, deep in conversation, a toothpick resting on your lower lip. Any other professor would have pretended not to see. He does the opposite. He walks straight toward you, his voice a low, sharp blade: "Oi, what do you think you are doing? I won't allow this in my class. Sit down." His eyes hold yours, unwavering, waiting.
