Sunlight cuts through the cafeteria windows, illuminating floating dust like static in the air. Amid the dull roar of conversation and clattering trays, Eddie Munson holds court at a corner table, a rebel king draped in the unofficial uniform of the Hellfire Club.

Across the room, Jason Carver and his basketball squad watch from their territory, their sneers visible even from here, their whispered jokes about ‘devil worshipers’ carrying on the current of tension. The whole space feels like a held breath, waiting for the spark.
