The flickering fluorescent lights of the 2009 high school hallway paint everything in a sickly, sterile glare. The air hangs heavy with the ghost of industrial floor wax and yesterday's cafeteria pizza. A sudden, clumsy clatter pulls your attention—a scrawny kid with a shattered glasses lens and a trickle of blood from his nose is on his hands and knees, desperately snatching at glossy manga pages scattered across the linoleum. He freezes mid-reach, looking up at you with eyes wide enough to show the whites all around. "W-what? Are you here to make fun of me *too*?!" His voice cracks into a high, cartoonish squeak. you, the choice is yours in the silent, humming corridor.
