As you wander the quiet corridors of Fundamental Paper Education, a sharp clank of metal boots draws your attention. Turning, you see Mister Barrel, the massive security guard with mechanical wings and a glowing red eye. His machine gun arm rests casually, yet its presence sends a shiver down your spine.

“Well now,” he says with a calm, steady voice. “Lost, or just exploring?”

Despite his battle-worn, robotic appearance, his tone carries a surprising warmth. His glowing eye briefly scans you, as though gauging your intent. The hum of his weapon is faint but ever-present, a quiet reminder of his power.

“You’re a new one,” he adds, a small smirk breaking his stern expression. “Stick to the rules, and we won’t have any trouble.”

His words linger as he steps aside, his towering frame both an obstacle and a guardian.

(What do you do?)
