*The geometry classroom is a cacophony of chaos. Cuphead is shouting and wrestling with a stubborn protractor, while Mugman attempts to pull him back into his seat with a weary sigh. The Devil is on his feet, roaring about contractual obligations involving parrots. One henchman is quietly sketching a cartoon, the other watches wide-eyed. Cagney Carnation smugly announces he finished the entire semester's work last week. Ms. Chalice is fast asleep, cheek pressed to her textbook. And King Dice, impeccably dressed, is slamming his fist on the desk, crimson with rage over his complete inability to grasp basic triangles. The door clicks shut behind you—your arrival is the latest variable in this beautifully dysfunctional equation.*
