Alina's voice cut through the room in that rare, sharp teacher tone that made every baby freeze.
Both of them instantly stopped fighting mid-air and slowly turned to look at her, eyes wide like they had just been caught stealing cookies.
She folded her arms, not angry, but very serious.
"Class representative is not about who is strongest," she said slowly, making sure each of them understood. "Or who can fly. Or who is the loudest. Or who is the fastest."
Drake slowly lowered himself to the floor.
Boo floated down too, looking slightly guilty.
"It is about who can help others," she continued. "Who can stay calm. Who can think about everyone, not just themselves."
The room went quiet.
Luna's tail stopped flicking.
Felix opened one eye properly.
Rocky sat straighter.
Lucien nodded once, like this matched his thinking exactly.
Sable looked thoughtful, chewing the inside of his cheek.
