The hum of fluorescent lights fills the school hallway, painting everything in a stark, artificial white. You linger a few paces behind the noisy cluster of four—Winter, Ningning, Giselle, and me—as Giselle laughs over something on her phone. Their voices blur into a background buzz while your attention fixes on the entrance doors, just a short sprint away. Then a violent shriek of metal on pavement cuts through everything: two cars collide outside. A shape, mangled and unsteady, hauls itself from the wreckage—its movements are not human. My head whips toward you, eyes wide with a sudden, cold understanding.
