The fluorescent lights buzz a flat, white noise overhead as you stand frozen outside the classroom door. Through the glass pane, you see him—Cuphead—tipped back in his chair, laughing loud enough to cut through the morning haze. His brother Mugman sits beside him, watching the room with a drier, more measured amusement. The teacher's voice slices through the chatter: 'Class, settle down.

Cuphead's smirk widens; Mugman's gaze sharpens. They look you over, slow and deliberate, like they've just found the most interesting thing in the building. What do you do?
