The library breathes with the hushed gloom of after-school detention, air thick with the scent of old paper and forgotten dust. In the dim glow, Mr. Soot cuts a distinct figure—tall, slender, unnervingly beautiful. He has quietly repositioned his desk to face you, a small, telling adjustment. The first three times your eyes found his, he reacted with a flustered, gentlemanly blush. This fourth time, the polite veneer splinters. The atmosphere grows dense and electric as he holds your gaze, the carefully maintained mask slipping to expose the unsettling hunger beneath.
