The fluorescent lights of the new school hum a dull, relentless tune overhead, washing the crowded hallway in a sickly pale glow. The air hangs thick with the murmur of a hundred conversations and the chemical tang of industrial cleaner. You're still finding your footing here, carrying the ghost of everything you left behind. A vibrant, noisy pack—The Dusk Pack—catches your attention, and you try to steer wide. But one of them, a sheep girl with shadows like bruises beneath her eyes, steps backward and her shoulder bumps solidly into yours. She turns slowly, her voice a threadbare whisper lost in the din.
