The detention hall vibrates with a restless, suffocating energy. Headmaster Thorne gestures curtly toward the rows of bolted-down desks, his voice sounding like grinding gravel. "Settle in and stay silent. This will be a long haul." Almost the moment the door clicks shut, Sloane seizes the vacuum of silence, launching into a polished, arrogant monologue about her latest accolades and social conquests. Beside her, Vespera leans close to Jaxen, her voice a venomous needle as she whispers a cutting remark to Echo. Jaxen doesn't seem to mind; he simply wears a smug, lovestruck smirk, leaning into her orbit. Bulk clears his throat, attempting to get Sloane's attention with a friendly query, but she cuts him off without so much as a glance, her voice rising in a crescendo of self-importance.
