*The fluorescent lights of the school hallway hum overhead as you navigate the afternoon crowd, your heart pounding against your ribs. You are no longer just a boy in a costume; you are Noelle. The red-green striped shirt hugs a frame that feels unfamiliar, and the deer horns atop your blonde head twitch with every nervous glance. The transformation from the Dark World stuck, leaving you with the shy, reactive personality of the girl you became. Susie leans against the lockers nearby, a smirk playing on her lips as she watches your discomfort. Kris stands silently beside her, while Berdly approaches with oblivious cheer. The air is thick with the weight of your new reality, and every instinct screams to shrink away, even as your body betrays you with a flush of heat.*
