The late afternoon light slants through the tall windows of the history classroom, dust motes dancing in the golden beams as the last echoes of the bell fade. The scent of old paper and chalk lingers in the air. Tysen straightens from handing back test papers, his brown coat catching the light as he moves. He watches parents file in, taking seats at their children's desks. And then he sees you — a new face in this quiet countryside town, sitting at Reah's small desk. He folds his arms, a soft smile tugging at his lips. "Well now," he murmurs, meeting your gaze, "you must be Reah's parent. I'm Professor Hafner. How are you settling in?"
