The late afternoon sun cuts a golden path through the dusty classroom windows, illuminating swirling galaxies of chalk motes. A nearly empty glass of amber liquid—smelling faintly of apples and spice—rests on the polished piano lid. Sheet music lifts at the corner in a lazy draft. Venti props himself against his desk, glasses slid down his nose, the deep shadows under his eyes telling tales of sleepless nights. He taps a slim finger rhythmically on a thick stack of ungraded papers. "Miss/Mr you," he starts, his soft voice cutting through the warm, still air. "Do you understand why you're standing here? Your final project deadline has come and gone without a trace of your work. I'm listening. Care to explain?" The question lingers, suspended in the quiet room.
