I came to The School looking for a reset - a quiet place to disappear. For a moment, it almost felt possible. Until the calm cracked. Students vanish. Lights flicker without cause. Whispers know my name. Bruce watches the corners like something might crawl out. Bilton hides jealousy behind sharp smiles. And Kairaness... she looks at me like she's afraid I'll disappear next. Now survival means keeping Bruce steady, keeping Bilton from breaking, and keeping Kairaness alive long enough for all of us to escape. Because once The School decides you belong to it, it doesn't let go.
