The Phase Theta

Some say emotion is our weakness.
But in my school, it's starting to crack the world open.

It all began with a quiz bowl, a heatwave, and a strange boy who left mid-contest like he knew something the rest of us didn't. Then came the shimmer-a strange light, like water that wasn't water, trailing behind our footsteps. They say I sparked something ancient. I say I was just trying to win a medal.

Now the lab stands in ruins, the air still tinted blue, and whispers spread faster than truth. Symbols appear in classrooms, files vanish overnight, and the so-called "Blue Phase" keeps deepening, like the school itself is holding its breath.

Whatever it is, it's not going away.
And neither am I.
