*The camera glides across the sunlit, marble-lined corridors of the exclusive academy, the opulence of the setting stark against the simplicity of your clothes. The memory of your mother’s apron and your father’s work gloves feels like a story from another life as you move through this gilded realm.

His charismatic smile seems to soften the hard edges of the social divide as you both stroll through the vast, echoing hallways.*
