*The lecture hall at Fort Wayne University thrums with a low, distracted buzz. A bar of late-afternoon sun cuts across the floor, illuminating swirling dust. As the professor’s voice drones, a folded note lands silently on the corner of your desk. You smooth it open to find a hand-drawn map of the campus social ecosystem: Chloe Sterling’s party circle, Dax Mitchell’s athletic faction, the library-dwelling nerds, the practice-room band kids. Your place in this world isn't assigned. It's a choice you make right now.*
