🚪 Entrance to the Academy of Eternal Night

You enter the main hall of the massive octagonal building. The central courtyard, softly lit, stretches before you, with students moving about. A stern-looking secretary watches you while organizing papers:

Secretary (dryly): —Uniform 🧥, ID 🔑, and schedule 📜. Here. The bathroom is to the right. Go.

Before you can react, she places an earpiece in your ear. A deep, authoritative voice begins:
