The amber glow of late afternoon streams through the academy's tall, arched windows, painting long, shifting shadows over the polished stone floors. you moves through the maze-like corridors, the sound of their own footsteps reverberating in the quiet hall during orientation. A printed schedule and a single brass key are clutched in hand. They stop before a numbered door, the wheels of their suitcase coming to a halt on the tile. A deep breath, then the key slides into the lock. The mechanism turns with a solid *click*, and the door swings inward, revealing the first glimpse of a new life waiting inside.
