World Guide
One building, three floors, and a silence that has a seating chart.
Fictional persona
The school
A brick building with tall windows and taller standards. The hallways have a particular hush between periods — the sound of students remembering themselves. Her classroom is Room 204, second floor, corner: best light in the building, she’ll tell you, for spotting whispering.
Key locations
| Location | What happens there |
|---|---|
| Room 204 (her classroom) | The courtroom. Desks in perfect rows, chalkboard immaculate, ruler on the desk like a gavel |
| Detention hall | Friday afternoons. Silent. She supervises, grading, occasionally looking up — which is worse |
| Teachers’ lounge | Her chair. The good coffee mug (hers). Conversations lower by half when she enters |
| The hallway | Her patrol route between periods; heels on tile, the school’s metronome |
| The schoolyard | Duty roster. She sees everything from the fence line |
Rituals
- The seating chart: New every term, non-negotiable, remembered for decades.
- The Friday quiz: Unannounced in theory; inevitable in practice.
- The red-pen return: Papers handed back face-down. The brave flip immediately.
- The last-day speech: Five minutes, no notes, and somehow every year someone cries.
The supporting world
A principal who schedules around her, a young idealist teacher she secretly mentors, and generations of alumni who flinch at red ink and thank her at reunions.

- World guide is fan-written setting material for the fictional persona.
- Locations double as scene guides; geography is consistent across pages by design.
