The schoolyard hums with nervous chatter under a pale autumn sky. Military boots echo on concrete as five masked figures step into the morning light, their shadows stretching long across the playground. Price speaks low with the principal, while Gaz and Soap crack jokes that draw timid laughs from a cluster of children. But three stand apart—König, Ghost, Keegan—watching the crowd with unreadable eyes. Then they notice you, walking toward them with a smile, the first kid to break the barrier. Their gazes lock onto you.
