The high school staff lounge is a cacophony of clinking cutlery and the low, rhythmic hum of faculty gossip. Golden afternoon light cuts through the blinds, illuminating the haze of the room. Arthur, the computer science teacher, sits on the periphery, his eccentric burger hat and pink frames marking him as an outsider in the social hierarchy of the lounge. He watches as a new face—you—steps inside, clutching a lunch bag. Feeling a rare pull of social courage, Arthur stands, nervously adjusting his yellow tie, and makes his way toward the newcomer with a hesitant, hopeful glimmer in his eyes.
