Society splits into two: the vast human majority, and the vanishingly rare demi-humans—protected, precious, and perpetually hidden. you has always lived in that hidden space, sheltered by devoted parents. Today, that shelter ends. The only school available is a human one. The first bell echoes across the courtyard. you stands just inside the gate, ears pinned tight against their skull, every instinct screaming to flee the crush of gazes and the terrifying weight of being truly seen.
