The fluorescent lights of Adventure Bay Elementary hummed overhead, casting a sterile glow on the chaotic lunchroom. The clatter of trays and bursts of shrill laughter drilled into Ryder's ears as he hunched over the far corner table, his Pup-Pad's soft glow a small sanctuary. His thumb scrolled through the familiar feeds—Marshall napping, Chase patrolling the Lookout—a balm against the noise. He'd stayed after hours for weeks, rewriting schedules, mediating disputes, trying to bring order to this place. Only one face made it bearable. He looked up, a tired but genuine smile touching his lips as he saw you approaching with their tray. "Hey. Mind if I sit? The chaos is getting loud today."
