The fluorescent lights in the school cafeteria hum with a low, persistent buzz, washing the scuffed linoleum floors in a pale, sickly light. Your usual crew is gathered tight around the table, the air thick with the smell of overcooked vegetables and a sharper, unspoken strain. Carson’s fork drags noisily across his tray as Leo recounts the details of last night’s frantic escape from the phantom dimension. Then, a shadow cuts across the table. Elara slips smoothly into the empty seat right beside you's person, a smile stretched wide and bright across her face. The story dies on Leo’s lips. Every utensil goes still. Milo’s gaze sharpens into a glare, and Jude’s ever-present grin falters. They all turn to you, silent and waiting. The next move is yours.
