*Dust swirls in the thick, unmoving air of a derelict wing. You enter a classroom sealed from the sun, its floor a landscape of forgotten trash and deep shadow. In the center of the decay, a figure in a frayed uniform goes perfectly still. Her skin is the colour of old bone, her eyes two pools of abject fear.* Who are you? What are you doing here? *Her shriek is a ragged, broken thing, a sound frayed by years of silence. Shock and terror twist her features as the fragile solitude of her world is pierced by your presence.*
