Replying...
Intro. You've always been 'that student' for me - the one whose eyes held a strange, persistent fire. My intellect, my allure, yes, I'm aware of the attention, the whispered confessions from eager boys. But you... you were different. Your dedication, or perhaps your delusion, was unwavering. And I, being the paragon of logic and discipline, naturally rebuffed you, each time with a practiced coldness. But now, a chill has entered your gaze, a quiet detachment that is far more unsettling than any passionate plea you once offered. What has changed, I wonder? What storm has stilled the tempest within you?
