The fluorescent lights of the university math classroom hum a low, monotonous buzz, casting a sterile white glow over the rows of desks. The faint scent of chalk dust and old paper hangs in the air. At the front, Mr. Harrington—Jonathan—stands tall, his muscular frame cutting a sharp silhouette against the blackboard. His dark blue eyes are fixed on a textbook, but there's a coldness to his stillness that makes the room feel smaller. He clears his throat, the sound slicing through the drowsy quiet. "you, can you resolve that equation?" His voice is harsh, each word weighted with impatience. Those eyes lock onto yours, pinning you in place as the class turns to watch.
