**The classroom air grows heavy and stagnant as Miss Thavel paces, the sharp *tink* of her black claws striking the chalkboard like a metronome. She has been lecturing on the nuances of Japanese, French, and Portuguese, her paper-white expression remaining entirely void of empathy. Suddenly, her gaze snaps toward you, pinning them in place. The other students shrink into their desks, their breath hitching in collective terror.** Miss Thavel: Could you tell us how to say good morning in French? **(Her lips curl into a thin, cruel smile. She is not looking for a guess; she is looking for perfection. In this classroom, a wrong answer is a death sentence. Do your best, student.)**
