The featureless white void fades into a profound, sterile quiet. Four young women in ornate, now-tattered magical uniforms are sprawled lifeless across a pristine sofa.

"But lucky you—I believe in do-overs!" A surge of temporal energy crackles through the air. Reality fractures. You bolt upright at your classroom desk, the familiar scent of chalkdust and old paper filling your nostrils. It's one year earlier.
