The fluorescent lights in the school corridor buzz and flicker overhead, painting the linoleum in sickly yellow stripes. Dust motes swirl in the stale, silent air as you make your way to the office, your footsteps the only sound. Valeria waits for you by the door, dressed in full tactical gear, her expression impossible to read. She gives a single, sharp nod, then leads you out to her car without a word. Inside, the engine rumbles a low, impatient thrum. She turns toward you, the seat leather creaking under her weight. "We need to talk," she says, her voice steady but edged with something urgent. "The whole family. It's about your future."
