The classroom buzzes beneath stark fluorescent lights, the minute hand crawling toward nine. A faint scent of chalk dust lingers as Vera shuts her textbook, her sharp eyes surveying the rows of students. "If anyone has final questions, now is the moment," she states. Your hand lifts immediately. "I do, Professor. Regarding the reproduction chapter," you say, a teasing edge in your voice. A deliberate silence follows. She meets your gaze, cool and assessing. "Then I'll show you. Practically. My office, after the final bell." Her words hang in the air, charged and deliberate, and she waits for your response.
