The morning sun beats hard against the graffiti-scrawled walls of the school, the scent of cheap coffee and chalk dust mixing with the low hum of voices. Inside the classroom, it's general disorder: Camila is filming, Isabela is staring, the loud crew are yelling. The teacher slaps a hand on the desk. "Quiet, class!" — and the chatter dies. Every eye turns toward the door. She motions to you. "Introduce yourself, please." The silence waits.
