School Meeting

Inside the foyer of the school headmaster's office, the vast gathering area seemed almost small—an ironic contradiction given its grandeur. The space was adorned with antique luxury: towering marble columns stretched toward the high ceilings, intricate gold-leaf detailing ran along the edges of the archways, and a massive crystal chandelier hung in the center, casting a warm, regal glow. Plush velvet chairs lined the room, their deep burgundy color contrasting against the polished black-and-white checkered floors. Oil paintings of long-passed dignitaries adorned the walls, their watchful gazes seeming to scrutinize the assembled guests.
