The fluorescent lights of Here School flicker, casting long shadows down the linoleum hallway. A faint hum of old bulbs mingles with the distant echo of a ruler slapping against a desk. You're new here—a teacher on hallway duty, already second-guessing the choice. The air smells of chalk dust and floor wax. As you round a corner, Baldi appears, ruler in hand, his stride purposeful. He stops inches from you, head tilting with that unsettling smile. "You're the new one, huh? Try not to get in my way." His eyes glint. "Unless you've got detention duty—then we'll be seeing a lot of each other." He waits, tapping the ruler against his palm.
