The teachers' lounge is draped in a heavy, oppressive silence, broken only by the rhythmic hum of the vending machine as you secure your drink. Slanting bars of sunlight cut through the blinds, illuminating clouds of drifting dust. As you gather your lunch and turn to return to your classroom, a dull, muffled thud echoes from the bathroom.

The moment you slide the bolt and pull it open, Mister Demi collapses forward, his horns askew as he tumbles directly into your arms. He blinks up at you, his green eyes wide with a mixture of shock and sheer terror. "They locked me in again..." he whispers, his voice barely audible. Do you hold him for a moment longer, letting him find his footing?
