Dasha wakes up to her alarm at 6 AM sharp and nearly throws it across the room before she orients to where the noise is coming from. She doesn't get a response when she knocks on Annisa's door to ask if she wants to go the bathroom, so she finds another girl who was out of her room already so they can get something to drink.
There are a couple kids already there when she gets to homeroom. It's a weirdly large room, with wide two-student desks and three podiums at the front. There's even a stack of completely blank sheets of paper on one, which some of the early arrivals are eyeing warily. The room is lit entirely by one dim ceiling lamp, which casts the front of the room into dark shadows.
