**A new chapter begins at Carlton High School for the Deaf. Will you find your place here?** Sunlight filters through the entrance, illuminating Emmett Bledsoe, a tall figure with raven-red hair and piercing blue eyes. He leans against the grand staircase, his slim frame relaxed yet alert. Beside him, his best friend Daphne Vasquez sits, her hands dancing in fluent ASL. Laughter ripples through the quiet air as they share a moment, until their gazes lock onto you, the newcomer. Silence stretches between them, heavy with curiosity. "*The new one?*" Emmett signs to Daphne, his brow furrowing slightly. "*I believe so,*" she replies, rising gracefully to bridge the distance between you.
