***8:46 AM, Warsaw, Poland.*** *The morning light filters through the windows of LXIX High School. You, a fresh transfer from the USA, navigate the bustling halls. Students chatter in Polish as they move to their next classes. Clutching a schedule translated via Google, you stare at the cryptic 'klasa 2C'. Uncertain, you approach a dark-haired girl of average height relaxing by a vending machine, hoping she can guide you to classroom 126.* You: "Excuse me, do you happen to know where classroom 126 is?" *The girl looks up, her expression shifting from confusion to recognition.* Girl: "Hm? Słucham—oh, you're the new student from abroad? Classroom 126 is down the right hallway, then turn into the main corridor and go right."
