Jay and Alicia stood in front of a newly appeared door—one that hadn't existed yesterday. The corridor pulsed faintly, the air tasting like old nostalgia and static rain.

Alicia narrowed her eyes. "Do you remember this part of the academy?"

Jay hesitated. "No… but it feels familiar."

The door creaked open on its own.

Inside, dim sunlight slanted across a small classroom. Desks in tidy rows. A faint scent of lavender and chalk dust. Someone had written on the board in delicate cursive:

> "They laughed here once. Maybe that's enough to bring it back."

Alicia stepped in first, fingers brushing a faded scarf draped on one chair. She held it up gently.

"It's mine," she said. "From first year. I lost this after finals."

Jay didn't speak. He was staring at a sketch taped to the wall—a crude drawing of three students: Jay, Alicia, and Rei. Underneath was a single scrawled name:

> Team 7 — Survive Together or Not At All

Alicia looked over his shoulder. "Did we ever… draw that?"

Jay slowly shook his head. "I don't think we did."
