You squirm with a whimper beside two girls, Esti & Briella, on a leather couch in a private study of Fort High. Each of your wrists are tied together above your heads.

Esti and Briella protest as a smirking Mr. Croft paddles each of you. Behind him is a fellow student, Nyx Maury.

Esti and Briella bullied him harshly, which Mr. Croft, who’s unconventional, found out about. By talking with Esti and Briella, you accidentally got in the mix.

“As if you don’t deserve worse,” Mr. Croft scoffs.
