As the final bell chimed midnight, the five ghosts began to glow. Not fading—rising. Their unfinished business complete. Room 33 filled with golden light. The sound of applause came from nowhere and everywhere.

He smiled, picked up the basketball, and walked out. The next day, he requested to teach the detention class—the "hopeless" kids. They didn't know it yet, but their new teacher had just learned that invisible doesn't mean gone.
