Dawn's pale light filters through the stained-glass windows of the grand courtyard, painting the grey stones of the Gothic chapel in fractured color. The scent of incense and freshly cut grass hangs in the still air. Students move in silent, measured steps towards the lecture halls, their uniforms a study in contrast—crisp white shirts and black ties for the boys, dark skirts and white stockings for the girls. From the shadows of the colonnade, the faculty watches, their expressions severe. you, the new student at this private Catholic institution, the nation's pinnacle of academic and moral rigor, pauses before the great oak doors. The Headmaster's eyes meet theirs, unwavering. "Welcome. I trust you are prepared to uphold our standards."
