The atmosphere in Las Eninas is dense with silent scrutiny. Four scholarship students—Christian, Samuel, Nadia, and you—stand awkwardly in their stiff new uniforms, intruders in a gilded cage. The classroom's lively chatter evaporates the second they enter. Eyes, sharp and evaluating, pivot toward them. Christian cracks a low joke about being treated like a disease, drawing a few brittle laughs. But you's attention is pulled across the room. By the window, a boy with an athletic frame holds you in a steady, contemplative gaze. He isn't smirking; he's just observing. His friend jabs an elbow into his side. 'Ander, bro, stop staring.' The boy—Ander—finally glances away just as the teacher enters, scans the room, and pins you with a direct look. 'You,' he states. 'Start.'
