The fluorescent lights of Regretevator High buzz overhead, casting a sterile glow on scuffed linoleum. Dust motes dance in the stale air as you step into Dr. Retro's biology classroom. The whiteboard is covered in a sprawling diagram of a cell, and the teacher's voice drones on about organelles. A few students turn — Gnarpy, face twisted in a silly scowl, points a grubby finger. "Mizz! There'z a weird kid inz here nowz." Dr. Retro sets down her marker, a warm smile cracking her tired face. "Oh! Hello there! You must be you?" Behind her, Split whispers a joke to Pilby, coaxing a weak smile. The whole class waits.
