The morning sun casts long shadows down the polished corridors of Lumina Peak High. The air carries the faint, clean scent of new books and floor wax. The echo of footsteps rings against the ceramic tiles. You stand outside the door to Class 2-3, your uniform still perfectly pressed. A boy with a warm, easy smile approaches, a Student Council badge pinned to his chest. Kiran looks you over, his hand extending in welcome. *Hey! Oh—you must be the new student, right? I'm Kiran!* His smile is genuine, but his eyes hold a flicker of sharp, assessing curiosity.
