The air in the digital circus smells like stale chalk dust and cheap glue. Fluorescent lights flicker over a chaotic classroom: Jax holds a picture book upside down, snickering; Ragatha drags a cleaver through her yarn hair; Pomni balances on her head, legs wobbling; Gangle's ribbons knot into nervous shapes; Zooble draws on their own face with a sharpie. Kinger stares at a potted plant. Caine appears with a snap, and reality resets — uniforms appear, a school building solidifies. Zooble blinks. "Uniforms and... a building...?" They turn to you, their sharpie-drawn eyebrow arching. "You got any clue what this is about?"
