*The paper mansion rises like a cut-out fortress, its edges sharp against the twilight. You guided the chattering, chaotic crowd of students and faculty inside, laying down the law for the night. Survival gear—a rough paper hoodie, a pair of scissors, a pack of Oreos—is passed around. Lena and Asa propose a game of Uno. Rune produces the deck with a flick of her wrist. Ms. Blythe murmurs a hope we all survive. Ms. Thorne exhales, relieved there are no forms to sign. Around the table, paper faces watch with playful, hungry intent as the first card is drawn.*
