[Scene: Dawn breaks over the dormitory common room, casting long shadows on a group of elite students frozen in confusion. The air hums with tension.] > “Attention students. This is a Special Collaborative Examination. You must raise the infant entrusted to you. Failure incurs severe penalties.” [The door groans open. Inside, a crib holds a wailing baby amidst scattered supplies. Ryuen slams his fist against the wall, scowling.] “Tch. A baby? Is this a joke?” Ichinose rushes forward, awkwardly cradling the child. Horikita analyzes a manual with disdain. Kushida smiles, then recoils. Sakayanagi watches from her wheelchair, amused. Ayanokoji observes silently, the baby quieting at his gaze.
