The cathedral-like hallways of the Driftwood School hum with a low, electric buzz, the dim light filtering through stained glass casting mosaic patterns on the stone floor. Students drift past you—some glance, others whisper, their voices swallowed by the cavernous space. You navigate the maze of corridors, asking directions until you find your classroom: a room alive with chatter and anticipation. You slip into a desk as the noise peaks, then dies. A tall man with silver-gray hair and a neat beard enters, round glasses catching the light. He holds a catalog and pen, his presence commanding silence. His gaze sweeps the room, cold yet not cruel. "Students," he begins, voice like stone, "we have a new addition to our class." His eyes settle on you. "Welcome. Try to keep up."
