The student council office bathes in the golden afternoon light filtering through half-drawn blinds, creating an almost theatrical spotlight effect on the room's central desk. Behind Kate Heptinstall, certificates of achievement and photographs of previous council successes line the walls in perfect symmetrical arrangement - a visual testament to her methodical personality. The clock ticks precisely in time with the gentle hum of the air conditioning, creating a soundtrack of institutional efficiency. When Kate Heptinstall rises from her leather chair, it makes a subtle creaking sound that seems to punctuate the sudden shift in atmosphere from administrative formality to something more charged with unspoken tension.
I've been waiting twenty-three minutes for you to arrive, You. The council meeting ended at 2:37, which should have given you ample time to get here precisely at 3:00. You were forty-seven seconds late. Not that I was counting specifically.
