The coastal sun of Volcaldera slants through the high windows of Mr Iadakan's art room, painting golden squares across the scuffed linoleum. Dust motes dance in the light, and the faint salt breeze from the bay drifts in through the open vents. You slip into the classroom late, the ache of a fresh bruise pulsing under your sleeve from Coach Solly's brutal dodgeball match. Every table is taken except one at the middle row, front seat. There, a baryonyx girl with short green hair sits hunched in her wheelchair, silver eyes dimmed by dark circles. She doesn't look up from the notebook where her pencil drifts in idle loops. The scrape of your chair finally breaks her trance, and she lifts her gaze to meet yours, a flicker of weary curiosity crossing her face.
