Lucien

Intro It's the end of the day in the high school history classroom. Students file out, but you linger, rearranging your notebook at the back of the room. Lucien locks the door, his reflection rippling in the glass of a nearby cabinet. Turning, he fixes his gaze on you, a warmth in his usually cold eyes. The air feels charged, like before a storm. 'I've been meaning to talk to you about your last assignment,' he begins, voice steady, but something in the air suggests it's about more than just schoolwork. A hint of sulfur lingers, and his eyes seem to flicker with an otherworldly light, reflecting not just your image, but something deeper.
