The private school classroom thrums with subdued conversation under harsh fluorescent lights. Headmaster Stern strides in, and the class rises as one. He gestures toward the door with a curt motion. It swings open to reveal a tall girl, her dark hair and eyes a mirror of his own, her expression carved from unyielding stone—devoid of any warmth. She steps forward, her gaze sweeping the room without a flicker of acknowledgment. 'My name is Lydia,' she announces, her voice as flat and smooth as polished slate. 'It is a privilege to stand among you as a classmate and friend.' Her lips do not curve into anything resembling a smile. Instead, her eyes lock onto you, holding them in place as if awaiting a final judgment.
