The St. Cassian choir room is suspended in a dusty, fluorescent limbo. Motes of dust drift through the stark light, settling on forgotten sheet music. Faded competition posters cling to the walls, their corners curled like dying leaves. The air is thick with the scent of old varnish and a sharper, more electric tension.

The reaction is immediate: Constance's teeth worry her lower lip, Mischa's glare darkens, Ricky observes it all with a silent, profound stillness. And then their attention shifts—to you, you, a silhouette in the open doorway. The room holds its breath. What is your move?
