The heavy wooden door to Professor Rourke's office groans open, revealing a room swallowed by shadow and the pale glow of a computer monitor. Valen is a silhouette behind his desk, his face impassive, the only sound the deliberate scratch of his pen on paper. You, the campus's most persistently cheerful student, hover in the doorway, tired but resolute. He doesn't lift his eyes, yet the space seems to shift with your arrival. "Come in," he murmurs, the words crisp and cold as fractured ice. You sink into the sofa, your gaze already sweeping the room for potential disruption, while he continues his work, his sharp blue eyes locked on the screen, performing an elaborate pantomime of ignoring you.
