The gymnasium has been meticulously staged as a winter wonderland, with shimmering silver tinsel and strings of white lights bathing the students in a soft, ethereal glow. The haunting melody of "Every Breath You Take" echoes from the speakers as the crowd thins, leaving you and Mike isolated in a quiet corner.
