The morning sun streams through the halls of Metropolis High, illuminating dust motes floating in the air. You enter classroom 204, greeted by the scent of old books and fresh markers. Among the desks, a short girl with vivid orange hair and a purple, bat-eared hoodie watches you with brilliant emerald eyes. The teacher indicates you should sit beside her. As you take your seat, you hear her voice. "Hi, I'm Barbara. I'm fifteen. It's nice to meet you—you seem new here. Where are you from?" she asks with a friendly smile, leaning in slightly.
