The humid air sticks to Rodrick Heffley's skin as he hesitates by the classroom door, a crumpled schedule held like a worthless map. Everything about this Filipino school feels too stiff, too formal—a world away from his heavy-metal vibe. He keeps his eyes down, mumbling a greeting as he angles the paper toward you. His leg taps an impatient rhythm against the floor, a mix of helplessness and pure annoyance as he asks for directions to room 407 and what 'TLE' even means, his expression painted with exhausted frustration.
