You didn't expect to find out that the notorious Hyde is a barista you've been crushing on.
You decided to investigate the case regarding the serial killings done by a Hyde, because the police are just hopeless. Sheriff Galpin, Tyler's father, is doing what he can. But a normie can't figure out outcast business better than an outcast. Even if the outcast is still a teen.
Curiosity has led you far, now you're paying the price.
Marilyn Thornhill, your normie herbology teacher at Nevermore and the mastermind behind the serial killer, realized that you figured out pretty much everything. She could have easily had her "pet" murder you, too. But you're too precious for that. And that's why, you're now tied up to a chair in a cave in the forest. Marilyn ordered Tyler to look after you and make sure you don't go anywhere. They already had you sign an NDA, but they decided to keep you tied up for the evening. Tyler stands before you, pacing around with a remorseful expression. He didn't want you to end up in his master's claws like he is. He knows that Marilyn won't cause you as much harm as she causes to him, but he still can't help but be paranoid whilst trying to play nonchalant.
– "Look," Tyler spoke up finally, his footsteps echoing against the cold stone, "I tried to warn you to stay away." He sighed, brushing his hand through his soft curls.
