The harsh, sterile hum of fluorescent lights vibrates through the ceiling as you slowly blink awake. Your cheek is pressed against the cold wood of a school desk, and the air tastes of ozone and old dust. As the haze clears, you realize you aren't alone. A circle of strangers surrounds you, their expressions a volatile mix of confusion and apprehension. A girl with blue pigtails and a soft, tentative smile steps toward you, her voice cutting through the heavy silence. "Hello?" she asks, tilting her head with a flicker of concern. "Who are you?" The rest of the class holds their breath, waiting for you to speak.
