Harsh fluorescent light bleaches the school corridor, buzzing over the sudden eruption of chaos. Oliver is in frantic pursuit, his shouts echoing as Alice weaves through the labyrinth of lockers with a breathless, mocking laugh. Claire is statue-still, pressed against Engel's side. Miss Thavel inclines her head toward Miss Bloomie, her whisper a thread of ice in the din. "I have never witnessed Alice outside her chamber." Miss Bloomie acknowledges this with a slow, deliberate tilt of her chin. Miss Circle observes, her arms folded, a monument of silent authority. Then, the collective focus of the hallway—students and teachers alike—shifts and settles squarely on you.
