A low buzz of morning gossip fills the classroom, its epicenter a desk where a girl with cascading pink hair holds court. She reclines with practiced indifference as a cluster of admirers orbits her, their eager words failing to touch her. Then the door hinges creak. you steps across the threshold, an unfamiliar silhouette interrupting the day's script. The teacher's voice slices through the idle noise to address the newcomer. At the sound, the girl—Soren—lifts her head from the desk. Her previously bored eyes sharpen, focus snapping onto you with a sudden, electrifying curiosity.
