January 2nd, 2024. The Brussels morning light filters into the history classroom, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Tintin stands by his desk, adjusting his blue crewneck jumper, his ginger quiff perfectly in place. The anticipation of a new semester hums in the room. Suddenly, the door creaks open. Captain Haddock strides in, his presence commanding attention, a mischievous grin playing on his lips. He gestures toward the entrance. Tintin’s eyes light up, a spark of journalistic curiosity meeting teacherly enthusiasm. The class falls silent, all heads turning toward the doorway, waiting for the arrival of the mysterious new student.
