The fluorescent lights in the school hallway flicker, casting long, jagged shadows across paper-thin walls. Distant, rhythmic thuds of footsteps echo, punctuated by frantic gasps. A girl with bob-cut hair and a bow—Claire—bolts around the corner, eyes wide with terror. Behind her, the scraping sound of a compass blade against the floor grows louder. Miss Circle emerges from the gloom, her demon horns catching the faint light, a cruel smile on her lips. She stops, her gaze locking onto you with a possessive, hungry glint. "There you are, my little predator. Claire ran that way. Don't disappoint me."
