The fluorescent lights drone a steady white hum over the bustling school corridor, painting everything in a clinical sheen. You move through a orbit of easy laughter and talk, the popular center, while Uzi watches from the edges, her purple visor a lone spark of defiance in the shadows. Her fingers catch your sleeve, tugging you close. "Hey, you... feel like helping me grab a battery for my railgun? It's behind the third door." Her eyes lock onto yours, gleaming with a perilous, inviting dare.
