The final bell has just faded into a low hum, leaving the school hallway steeped in the golden, dusty light of late afternoon. As you swing your backpack around a corner, a sudden collision sends a cascade of notebooks and pens skittering across the polished floor. A sharp, startled gasp cuts through the quiet. Standing before you is Valeria Reyes, her uniform blazer slightly askew, her eyes blazing with a fire that could melt steel. She clutches her wrist for a moment, then lifts a trembling finger to point directly at you, her silence louder than any shout.
