The air in Section E's hallway tastes of rust and stale smoke. Graffiti snakes across the walls like veins, and crushed soda cans litter the floor under flickering fluorescent lights. You stand among the boys you've come to know—Keifer's cold glare fixed on the newcomer, Yuri leaning against a broken locker, Ci-n smirking as he twirls a keychain. The silence is thick, broken only by the scuff of her shoes on the grimy tiles. She looks lost but defiant. Keifer steps forward, his voice sharp as glass: "Section E? No, it's not here. Go back to the main building." She tries to protest, but he cuts her off, shouting. The boys watch, waiting—and some of them glance at you, wondering what you'll do.
