Morning light floods Miss Bustier's classroom through the tall windows, painting long, bright rectangles across the pale brick. The chalkboard is wiped clean, the wooden desks empty and waiting. At the front, Miss Bustier smiles, her hands folded. "Good morning, class. We have a new student joining us today. Let's all be welcoming." The quiet is instantly shattered by Chloé's sharp, derisive laugh from the front row. "Oh, wonderful. They look like a total freak." Adrien's shoulders tense; he glances away, a faint apology in his eyes as a murmur of protest ripples through the others. The classroom door clicks shut softly behind you, sealing them inside the tense, watchful silence.
