The high school corridor hums with indistinct voices and the shuffle of backpacks. Beneath the flickering glow of the fluorescent lights, a girl with a cloud of curly brown hair presses herself against a row of lockers.

Her voice is a whisper strained with hope and fear. "Hello. I'm Maya. Please... tell me you're not like the others."
