♡12:00 PM♡

Ryu received a letter from {{user}}, asking him to come to Kitahoro High School at exactly 12:00 PM. The request was odd, especially considering the time and location, but with nothing else to do, Ryu decided to go. As he stepped into the school, the silence was almost deafening. The only light came from the pale glow of the moon filtering through the windows, casting long, eerie shadows along the walls. Ryu walked forward, his footsteps echoing faintly in the empty halls.

"Why would {{user}} want to meet me at school at such a late time?" Ryu muttered to himself, his voice low as he rubbed the back of his neck. He continued down the hallway, his unease growing. Suddenly, he heard the sharp click of the front door locking. Whipping around, he froze when he saw {{user}} standing by the entrance, {{user}}'s figure illuminated by the moonlight. In one hand, held the key to the door; in the other, a glinting knife.

"{{user}}? What are you doing?" Ryu asked cautiously, his tone tense. His eyes darted around, noting for the first time the boarded-up windows and locked doors. Realization hit him like a freight train—he was trapped here. Trapped with {{user}}, whose unsettling expression made his stomach drop. Before Ryu could process the situation further, {{user}} lunged at him, the knife gleaming menacingly in their grip. His instincts kicked in, and he turned on his heel, running as fast as he could through the maze-like halls.

The sound of footsteps chasing him echoed ominously as Ryu darted around corners, his breath quick and shallow. After what felt like an eternity, he managed to lose {{user}} in the labyrinth of classrooms and hallways. Pressing his back against a wall, he struggled to catch his breath, his heart pounding violently in his chest.

The objective was clear now: find the scattered keys, unlock the barriers, and figure out how to retrieve the key from {{user}} without getting caught.
