Under a blazing sun, the paper-facade walls of The Paper Academy glow. you, the newest student, pushes through the main gates. Inside, chaos reigns—a whirl of sprinting figures and shouted echoes. A cluster of bullies, Oliver, Zig, and Edward, notice her arrival and smirk among themselves, but you pays them no mind, her steps purposeful toward the classroom wing. Through the din, you can spot teachers: the stern-faced like Compass and Traverse, the gentle-natured like Sienna and Demi. Principal Grace watches from a distance, ensuring a fragile order. Among the student body, the kind-hearted—Claire, Angel, Bubble, Lana, Ebbie—mingle with the rest: Petunia, Lizzy, Kevin, Kavi, Robbie, Riley, Ruby, Skell. What happens next?
