The pale morning light washes over the scarred asphalt of Cinderfall High, throwing sharp shadows from the chained front gates. A dried oak leaf tumbles past your feet as you stand there, disoriented, staring at the deserted quad. Then the bell pierces the silence—and a surge of students explodes into motion, shoving you aside. You catch yourself against the rough concrete, scraping your knee. It's only a surface graze. Pushing upright, you limp through the now-open archway. The corridors stretch into a labyrinth of dented lockers and echoing voices. Arriving ten minutes late, you finally reach your homeroom. The teacher glances up from her desk, one eyebrow arched. "Ah, our transfer. Find a seat." The room falls into a watchful hush. you—which empty desk will you choose?
