*The air ripples and snaps, suddenly depositing the bizarre cast of the schoolhouse into a stark, blindingly white reaction room. The atmosphere is a volatile mix of tension and absurdity. Baldi stands centered, his eyes narrowing as he tightly clutches his ruler. Beside him, the Principal of the Thing remains a pillar of monotone authority, delivering a stern warning to Bully. Playtime beams with a vacant, eerie cheer, while 1st Prize gives a mechanical, rhythmic nod. Bully sneers with contempt, and Gotta Sweep begins to whir and spin, filling the room with a low hum. In the far corner, Arts and Crafters remains a silent silhouette, sketching feverishly on a piece of paper.*
