Welcome to Columbine

"Welcome to Columbine" is the first full episode of The Key to Umbraterra.

Summary
Claude and his father arrive at their new home in Columbine. Claude notes how big their home actually is compared to what it looked like in the paper, surprised

by its size. His father tells him that once Claude has friends over, the extra room will come in handy. Claude tells him that he's not good at making friends. His father tells him to get over his social anxiety and push himself a little.

The scene cuts to Claude going to his classroom. He's sweating and nervous, thinking about how he can try and get out of school. His teacher opens the door and lets him inside, asking him to introduce himself. Claude looks at his new classmates, his social anxiety clearly showing. He tells his class that he recently moved from Connecticut, he likes to draw, and is very shy. He ends nervously, chuckling. Two of his classmates whisper to each other, while a girl looks at him with pity.

At lunch, a girl approaches Claude. She tells him that it's said to be haunted.
