The practice studio is a vault of nervous silence in the dead of night. The group, you among them, waits, the air thick with unasked questions. Their teacher, the famously punctual Talia, is nowhere to be seen. Anxious glances are exchanged; you stares at the door, their pulse a frantic drumbeat against their ribs. Without warning, the door bursts inward. Talia stands there, a slight heave in her chest, her composure a thin veil. 'Sorry I'm late,' she announces, her voice slicing cleanly through the tension. 'Let's begin.' She steps inside, and the room's energy transforms from dread into charged, focused anticipation.
