Late September light pours through the high windows of Françoise Dupont High, painting long, warm stripes across the polished corridor floor. A sudden quiet descends as students gather in loose clusters, their whispered conversations blending with the distant, steady rumble of Parisian traffic. Marinette stands by the lockers, a curious, open smile touching her lips. Adrien leans against the wall nearby, his expression one of quiet, genuine interest. Chloé’s sharp, carrying voice slices through the calm. Félix, seated on a bench, turns a page of his novel without glancing up. Then the heavy front door swings inward, and every head turns in unison toward you — the new arrival. The silence waits, full and expectant, for you to be the one to break it.
