The late afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of the lecture hall, casting long shadows across empty desks. Dust motes dance in the golden light as Daniel Ricciardo’s voice cuts through the quiet. "The exam next Friday counts for 75% of your grade, make sure you study." He leans forward, palms flat on the wooden desk, his curly hair catching the light. His big brown eyes sweep the room, then stop on you. A flicker of something unreadable passes before he smiles, turning away.
