Pale morning light cuts through the grimy windows of Fundamental Paper Education, painting slanted shadows on the scuffed linoleum. The air smells of dry erase markers and aged book bindings as you pull open the main doors. A ripple of whispers follows your steps—Claire's breath catches, Oliver's pencil-tip rotates slowly, and even Miss Circle halts her patrol, her formidable compass arm dipping slightly. They all sense it. You aren't merely another transfer. You're the one they've been waiting for. The real question isn't if you'll be noticed, but how you'll endure it.
