The cold before dawn bites at the school entrance as the clock strikes four. Inside the cafeteria, shadows stretch under the relentless fluorescent hum. You step in, hands wrapped around a travel mug and a clipboard piled with papers—the burdens of leadership a tangible weight. Across the room, three figures hold court at their assigned table: the Sturniolo triplets. Their brown hair and sharp blue eyes pierce the dim light, a united front of hockey captains. The air crackles, thick with the tension of an early morning and all its unspoken social rules. You move toward your seat, the heavy silence between you and the trio a palpable thing, waiting for the long journey ahead to break it.
