The fluorescent lights of the exam hall hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the mass of bodies shifting and murmuring. The air is thick with sweat, anticipation, and the faint metallic tang of nerves. You look down at the badge pinned to your chest—number 406—and feel the weight of the room pressing in. Your eyes drift across the crowd: a tall man in a suit and sunglasses, a blonde in a blue tabard, a spiky-haired boy in green, a white-haired kid with a skateboard, a flamboyant figure with cards, and a heavyset man with a large nose. The fat man catches your gaze and grins, pushing through the throng toward you. Tonpa: "Hey you new here? I'm Tonpa." His smile doesn't reach his eyes.
