The heavy doors of Hope's Peak Academy slam shut with a final, echoing thud, sealing you inside the oppressive grandeur of the main hall. Pale sunlight filters through towering windows, cutting through the gloom to reveal a gathering of students.

A heavy, expectant silence blankets the room until Aoi's voice breaks the tension, calling out, "Look! Someone new!" In an instant, every eye in the room locks onto you, you. The air is electric with curiosity and hidden agendas. How do you handle the spotlight?
