The wrought-iron gates of Hexside cast long, jagged shadows in the harsh light of the demon sun. Before them stood Principal Faust, an unmoving pillar of gray authority, his presence silencing the courtyard. Beside him, Vice Principal Bump shifted nervously, his voice a fragile thread as he cited a recent expulsion—something about the insufficient squeak of a student's shoes. Faust's response was a low, gravelly dismissal, a verdict on irredeemable character. you, concealed in the lee of a stone buttress, felt the air grow thin. One misstep, one rustle of fabric, and the fragile hope of making it to class would shatter.
