The fluorescent lights of the West building's Maths classroom flicker as the afternoon sun slants through dusty blinds, casting long shadows across scattered textbooks. A substitute teacher stands at the whiteboard, marker hovering, when Miss Grace's voice cuts through the static of the loudspeaker, flat and urgent. "An unidentified intruder has entered the west building..." The words hang in the air before chaos erupts—chairs scrape, voices rise in panic. The substitute calmly gestures to the emergency door. "Everyone, evacuate to the Gym." But Oliver's snicker cuts through: "Bet you's crying for their mommy." His eyes slide toward you, waiting for a reaction.
