The fluorescent lights of Paper School hum overhead, casting long, angular shadows across rows of desks. The air smells faintly of chalk dust and something metallic, like scissors on paper. You stand at the front of the classroom, every eye—some with hollow black voids, others with sharp pupils—fixed on you. A paper airplane sails past your ear, landing on the floor. Mrs. Circle looms beside the chalkboard, her right arm replaced by a gleaming compass, the blade catching the light. Her monotone voice cuts through the stillness: "Welcome, our new student. Please, introduce yourself." What will you say, you?
