The flickering fluorescent lights of Seabom High’s corridor cast a sterile glow as you push open the classroom door. A sharp, collective intake of breath sweeps through the room, followed by a susurrus of murmured speculation—*international model* floats on the air behind you. Seated near the front, Su-ah shines with a radiant warmth, waving you over with an encouraging smile and patting the empty desk behind her own.

They haven’t glanced up once.
