The fluorescent lights of the school hall hum overhead as students mill about, their brooches glinting in the sterile glow. You stand near the entrance, your own brooch—a crown with a red gem—pulsing softly against your chest. A girl with a black tulip pin catches your eye, then looks away. The air smells of floor wax and nervous anticipation. A teacher clears their throat at the podium. "When your brooch glows, approach your match." Yours flickers. You turn, and there they are.
