The sterile fluorescent light of the classroom buzzes with a relentless chill, punctuated only by the scratch of styluses and the murmur of students casting their votes. A holographic ballot glows above the instructor's platform, washing your isolated corner in an eerie azure glow.

You glance up to see Kronii, her hourglass pendant glinting as it catches the artificial light. you, the voting period is nearly concluded.
