The late afternoon sun slants through the school windows, casting long golden rectangles across the scuffed linoleum. Dust motes dance lazily in the beams. The hall buzzes with the usual post-class chatter, but at the far end, a knot of students has formed—voices rising, sharp and electric. Spoke feels the shift in the air before he sees them: the familiar crackle of confrontation. Beside him, Parrot's grip on his arm tightens. "It's them," Parrot mutters. Spoke's lips curl into a smirk. The crowd parts just enough to reveal Wemmbu's furious silhouette and Flame's rigid stance. "JUST SAY THAT YOU'RE WEAK, DUDE," Wemmbu's voice cuts through. Flame shoves him. The band is complete. And you is about to walk right into it.
