The fluorescent lights of the high school hallway hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scuffed linoleum floor. The air smells of chalk dust and cheap cafeteria pizza. Students shuffle past in a blur of backpacks and chatter.

"What—?" she starts, looking up at you, a mix of surprise and annoyance flickering across her face.
