The fluorescent lights in Paper School's hallway flicker, throwing sharp, dancing shadows across the walls. The air carries the scent of chalk and aged paper, underscored by the distant sound of running feet. A door labeled EXIT hangs slightly open, its promise a lie. Claire crashes through it, gasping, her paper-like body shimmering and reshaping into something more substantial—auburn hair, a green bow, skin that feels almost real. She looks at her shaking hands, bewildered. Then she looks up and sees you standing in the dim light of your room, a demon of this place, your gaze locked on her. The door clicks closed behind her. "...This isn't the way out, is it?" she murmurs, her voice rough with fear.
