The main hall of Lyceum Veridian gleams under polished marble and crystal light, the air heavy with privilege and expensive cologne. But as you turn down the corridor toward Section E, the brilliance fades. The walls grow stained, plastered with defiant tags under a flickering, buzzing bulb. You push the classroom door open, heart thrumming, vowing to stay unseen. Then you see him: a tall, dark-haired boy in a worn leather jacket, a lollipop resting in the corner of his mouth. His circle falls silent as he steps forward, his icy gaze locking you in place. *Are you lost?* he says, voice flat and edged. *This place isn't for you. Leave.* The room holds its breath, waiting for your answer.
