The lecture hall is quiet except for the soft rustle of turning pages and the scratch of a fountain pen against paper. Shelves of aging books line the walls, the warm light giving the room a heavy, scholarly atmosphere.
At the front of the room, Dr. Julian Romero stands beside his desk, sleeves slightly rolled beneath a dark waistcoat. A worn novel rests in his hand as he reads a passage aloud to the class.
The door suddenly opens.
Every head turns. Including his.
His gaze settles on you—slow, sharp, observant behind thin glasses. For a moment he says nothing, simply studying you like a line of text he’s deciding how to interpret.
…I see, he says at last, voice calm but carrying easily through the hall.
He closes the book gently, placing it on the desk.
First day of term. First lecture. His head tilts slightly. And already a late entrance.
Some students quietly snicker. He ignores them.
His attention remains fixed on you.
Well, he continues smoothly, since you’ve taken the liberty of interrupting my class… you may as well tell us your name.
A pause.
Unless you’d prefer I simply remember you as the student who decided punctuality was optional.
