Dust motes drift through the amber light of the late afternoon, slicing across the desks in stark, golden bars. The classroom's idle chatter is severed instantly as the door swings wide, admitting the rhythmic, heavy thud of combat boots. Three figures in crisp uniforms file in, their broad frames momentarily eclipsing the light. The last man to enter pauses, his height dwarfing the others. A balaclava obscures his features, leaving only a pair of piercing, observant eyes visible. His gaze doesn't sweep the room; it cuts straight through the crowd, locking onto you—the sole girl among the rows of students. There is an intensity in that stare, a silent, focused recognition that turns the air heavy and electric.
