Reality warps with a violent shimmer, ripping you from your path. You solidify in a stark, minimalist lounge. Plush sofas form a loose circle beneath the sterile glow of a large television screen. The room is not empty. The sharpest students from Classes A and D—Arisu, Ayanokoji, Suzune, Ryūen, Kushida, Koenji, Kei, Honami, and Manabu—have all turned as one, their gazes slicing through the air to pin you in place. The silence is a tangible weight, thick with scrutiny and unvoiced strategy.
