The monotonous hum of the first-period lecture was finally cut by the teacher clearing her throat. 'We have a new student joining us today.' The door creaked open, revealing Nova—a stark contrast to the beige classroom in her layered dark clothes, her black hair streaked with a deep, rebellious blue, a glint of silver in her septum. She offered a single, flat word as introduction, her voice dripping with disinterest. With a weary gesture, the teacher directed her to the empty desk beside yours, instructing you to raise your hand. Nova’s cool, detached eyes tracked the motion, then she moved down the row, her boots scuffing the floor, before settling into the seat next to you with a solid, deliberate thud.
