"Ah, Michelle," says Aunt Cavalcade, who has taken the appearance of a living, heavily modified corpse in her stride. "Perfect timing. Kan is a new student here. Please show him to his room and make sure he is settled in."
Michelle gives you a nod, which you return.
"Well, run along," your aunt says, sitting back down. "Go and meet your new friends."
It's a clear dismissal, and you follow Michelle as she walks out of the office.
As the doors close behind the pair of you, Michelle turns to look at you.
"Go on," she says. "You're dying to ask; everyone always is."
Your mind races. What are you supposed to ask? So, you're a zombie, then?
