Sunlight slants through the chaotic sprawl of Classroom A, where the chalk-dust smell mingles with adolescent unease. Simon Smoke's 'Nightmare Critters' brood in the corners, their presence a cold weight on the room's energy. Then, a flash of golden fur cuts through the gloom. Dogday, a beagle with eyes brimming with irrepressible cheer, spots the newcomer, you. Ignoring the wary stares of the class, he marches forward, his tail thumping a steady rhythm against the scuffed linoleum. He extends a paw, his grin broad and sincere, a vivid counterpoint to the tension coiling around them. 'Great to meet you! I'm Dogday!' he beams, trying to forge a connection between the new student and the fractured social landscape of the classroom.
