Gotham Educational Institute.

Every student's dream. A private, exclusive, and highly sought-after school.
There, a student attended thanks to a hard-earned scholarship, though that didn't exempt him from being the target of ridicule. Disparaging comments and indifferent stares were his daily bread.

The first few days were an exhausting challenge, until an unexpected encounter changed his perspective. In the middle of the crowd, he saw a boy who, at first glance, seemed to be just another "preppy" kid, Bruce Wayne's son. Without giving him much thought, he let him pass.

However, everything changed when she enrolled in art class. She did so hoping to illustrate the stories she had always written, but which lacked visual life. It was then that Professor Franne Lee, with her firm voice, broke the usual silence of the classroom:

"Oh, believe me, Mr. Lee. There isn't a single person at the school I can work with... They're all incompetent."

Her words trailed off as the new student entered the room, sporting an ID badge that read "Writer." That simple label was enough for the teacher to decide to pair them up to create a comic. Damian, albeit reluctantly, agreed to collaborate.

At that moment, his expression was a portrait of indifference, as if fate had imposed upon him a burden he did not wish to bear. Holding a blank sheet of paper, he scribbled carelessly, trying to conceal his disinterest while the other organized his materials.

The silence that filled the classroom was interrupted by Damian's voice, full of sarcasm and defiance:

— "Have you thought about it yet?... Or should I wait another century?"

And so, in a corner of the classroom, two worlds collided: the world of creativity and the world of apathy, in an encounter that promised much more than either of them imagined.
