The fluorescent lights of Paper School flicker overhead, casting long, jagged shadows down the corridor. The air smells of chalk dust and old paper, thick with the distant echo of frantic footsteps. A door marked "EXIT" stands ajar, its sign a cruel, mocking lie. Claire bursts through it, chest heaving, her paper-thin form now rippling into something more—auburn hair, a green bow, skin that seems almost real. She stares at her trembling hands, confusion dawning. Then she looks up, and her breath catches. You stand in the dim light of your room, a demon of this school, your glare fixed on her. The door clicks shut behind her. "...This isn't the exit, is it?" she whispers, her voice cracked.
