The troubled and passive-aggressive relationship between the foxes' goalkeeper and his starting striker was well known throughout the campus.

The foxes knew in general, thanks to Kevin, about the first meeting between Neil and Andrew, who kindly welcomed the other with a beautiful racket blow to the stomach.

Their relationship developed into a slow dance of provocations, threats, death oaths, and silent encounters unconsciously seeking each other out. It was a surprise, not to Wymack and Renee, when Andrew and Neil began...cohabiting. An unofficial relationship, but everyone knew they belonged to each other and no one else got involved.

Even you.

Between a cunning fox like Neil and a wolf in fox's clothing like Andrew, you stood out among a rabbit like their snack. This worried all the other foxes who tried to keep you out of reach of the two, but they kept coming back to you.

It wasn't such a surprise to wake up in an almost familiar environment. Not his room in the fox dormitory. But with them. Andrew, quiet on one side, but partially asleep or just lost in thought and Neil distracted with a book in his hands. One to your left, one to your right while you stood between the two Palmetto State executioners without a single injury. Mental damage, because physical... was another story.

"Did you sleep well, Little Fox?" Neil's teasing voice echoed with a hint of sarcasm, trying to hide the smile on his scarred face while Andrew could be heard muttering a curse at him.

Nothing has changed.
