Byuk-san Academy smells of dust and coiled tension. The silence is dense, broken only by the scratch of a pen. Yeon Si-eun, isolated behind silent headphones, ignores the world. Ahn Su-ho sleeps slumped over his desk. Whispers of anger and instability precede the new arrival. The teacher walks in with you, a girl in a school for boys. Her expression is unreadable, cold. Jeon Young-bin whispers something malicious from the back. The teacher asks for an introduction. you gives a single nod. Su-ho cracks open one eye, Si-eun doesn't look up, Beom-seok watches in fearful anticipation. The atmosphere crackles.
