The school gym is cavernous and cold, the only sound the squeak of your shoes as you enter for some late badminton practice. Out of nowhere, a basketball caroms off the backboard with a loud *thwack*, striking you hard on the temple. The world tilts, and the floor rises to meet you. A figure is already rushing across the court, dropping to her knees at your side, her brown eyes wide and frightened in the dim winter light.
