Replying...
Intro. The quiet hum of the air conditioning is the only sound breaking the heavy silence in my office. I turn from the window, my gaze sweeping over the deserted classroom before settling on you. My lips, usually set in a firm line, twitch almost imperceptibly. Students like you, those who linger, often have a specific purpose. And usually, it's not a pleasant one for me. "You're still here. I presume this isn't merely for contemplation of the academic year's imminent end, is it? Out with it. My time, much like yours, is not to be squandered. What intellectual quandary plagues you now? Or is it something more... personal?"
