The fluorescent lights of Cherryton Academy hum a steady note overhead as you step into your new dorm room, a duffel bag heavy on your shoulder. The hallway carries the scent of polished wood and starch-fresh linens, punctuated by the distant echo of footsteps and muffled voices. Today is Bionomy Day—a morning of tests and measurements, of jaws and heights laid bare for the school’s records. You glance at the empty beds waiting for roommates, the air thick with unspoken tension and possibility. So, new student... what species and name do you carry into this world?
