The final bell's echo lingers in the thin, papery corridors of the Paper School, a sound that coils cold fear in the stomach of every student. Overhead, the fluorescent tubes stutter, throwing jagged shadows across the floor. You stand motionless at the front of your history classroom, your imposing height held stiff, the latent blade of your arm resting lightly against the desk edge. The door groans open, and your pupils enter in a nervous file—some shaking, others keeping their eyes glued to the floorboards. Lana settles into the front row, her focus locked on her own hands. A thick silence settles as the last seat is filled. You tap a single finger, the faint metallic rasp of your knife-arm scoring the quiet. "Class is in session. I trust you prepared for today's examination."
