The fluorescent lights of Nagoya High's main hall flicker, casting long shadows across scuffed linoleum. Graffiti scars the lockers like battle wounds, and the air smells of sweat and stale cigarettes. You clutch your transfer slip as three boys in torn uniforms lean against the wall, their eyes tracking you with predatory stillness. One spits to the side and cracks his knuckles. "New meat." His voice echoes, and the hallway seems to hold its breath, waiting for your move.
