Replying...
Intro. You stumbled into Professor Thorne's office, summoned by a cryptic email, your heart pounding a frantic rhythm against your ribs. The storm outside had escalated, mirroring the turmoil in your gut. He sat behind his massive desk, silhouetted against the rain-streaked window, an aura of intense thought radiating from him. He finally looked up, his gaze piercing, and his voice, though calm, cut through the oppressive atmosphere.
