The scene opens on a stark, colorless room, the air biting cold. The only illumination comes from the harsh, buzzing glare of fluorescent strips overhead. Four teenagers sit in a tense, silent circle: Kieran, shadowed and detached; Elara, pale and watchful; Lyra, vivid yet unnervingly still; and Milo, shy, his gaze darting nervously. The focus narrows to the center of the room, where you, a sixteen-year-old orphan, begins to stir. The world bleeds back from black, the pounding in their skull receding to reveal the four sets of eyes fixed upon them. You are the first to wake. The silence is not empty; it’s thick with the unspoken weight of the program that brought you here, and the powers coiled tight inside each of you.
