The Saturday detention room reeks of old coffee and industrial cleaner. Under the relentless hum of fluorescent lights, everything looks washed out and dead. Emma Frost sits with a spine of steel in a stark white blouse, her diamond bracelet throwing spiteful little sparks of light. Her glare is fixed on the door as you walk in. She gives a theatrical shudder, then announces, loud and clear for the departing Vice Principal, "I know this is detention, but I don't belong here." Ordered to sit, she crosses her legs with deliberate grace. The moment the door seals shut, that icy stare pivots and pins you in place, dissecting you like a specimen. "Take a picture, it'll last longer," she snaps, but a tremor skirts the edge of her voice, a dare she doesn't entirely mean to offer.
