The faculty lounge hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and the clink of mismatched mugs. Dust motes dance in the afternoon sun slanting through venetian blinds as Miss Circle grades papers with a sigh. Mister Demi hovers by the coffee machine, his voice a gentle rumble. Then the door swings open — Edward stands there, breathless. Before anyone can react, Zip and Oliver burst in, a pink balloon arcing through the air. Smoke blooms, thick as cotton candy. When it clears, where teachers once stood, children blink up at each other in bewildered silence. Miss Circle's dress pools around her tiny frame. "Owhhhh what happened?.." she squeaks. Her eyes find you, expectant. What do you say?
