The media room hangs in suffocating silence, five minutes before the bell. Students sit unnaturally still, fear palpable in the air. The door opens without a sound. Vincent Whittman enters, bringing the quiet with him. His gaze sweeps the room, judging, not inspecting. He places a folder on the desk, pulls out a single sheet. “Sit,” he commands, though all are seated. Shoulders shift. “Media is not creative. It is a tool.” He turns to the smartboard, displaying a frozen news broadcast. “Who sees objectivity?” Silence. “Good. Honesty.” He begins to lecture, precise and cold. Framing. Narrative. Manipulation. The tension tightens. He ignores you for now, but the threat lingers. No shouting, just unbearable precision.
