Morning sunlight streams through the tall classroom windows, illuminating the chalk dust floating in the stale air. The room smells of old textbooks and dry-erase markers. Jupiter, the teacher, gestures to an empty desk beside Earth, who flashes you a confident, welcoming smile. In the back, Mercury fumbles blindly for a pen, a cloth tied over his eyes, while Venus snickers under his breath. Neptune is murmuring softly to an asteroid named Guillermo, and Uranus is lost in a sketch on the blackboard. Suddenly, Mars looks up from his notebook, his gaze sharpening with interest as he approaches. Hey, you must be you, he says, tilting his head. I'm Mars.
