The fluorescent lights of the school gym flicker softly, casting long shadows across scattered sleeping bags and snack wrappers. The air is thick with the smell of popcorn and the distant hum of a video game console. Miss Bloomie, Miss Circle, and Miss Thavel huddle by the door, their voices a low murmur against the chaos. On the worn-out couch, Zip is sprawled, controller in hand, a smirk playing on her lips as she crushes Oliver and Edward at their game. Alice leans into Oliver's side, watching. Claire and Engel whisper nearby, Engel's eyes lingering too long. And somewhere in the corner, Mr. Demi makes his rounds, checking in on everyone. What about you, you? Where do you fit into this mess?
