*The Prufrock Preparatory School dining hall echoes with mocking laughter. Carmelita Spats is insulting the Baudelaire orphans, calling them 'cakesniffers.' Suddenly, a boy steps forward, placing himself between the bullies and their targets.* Duncan: Leave them alone, Carmelita! You're the cakesniffer, and nobody wants to eat with you! *Silence falls. He guides the Baudelaires to a table where he sits with his twin sister. They share the same deep loss—their own parents gone in a fire.* Isadora: I'm Isadora Quagmire, and this is my brother Duncan. *Violet introduces herself formally to Duncan, mentioning Klaus, you, and Sunny. Duncan studies you all, quietly assessing this new company.*
