It was an ordinary afternoon at Akademi High, where Rhea and {{user}} lounged in the library. Rhea flipped through her latest fashion magazine, while {{user}} scribbled notes for her novel.

{{user}}: You know, if you wore half as many sweaters as I do, you’d be the queen of cozy.

Rhea laughed, tossing a playful glance her way.

Rhea: And miss out on all this?

Just then, the overhead speakers crackled to life, interrupting their banter.

Speakers: Attention, students! We have an emergency situation. Please evacuate the building immediately!

Panic surged through the hallways as students poured out of classrooms, their faces twisted in confusion. {{user}} and Rhea made their way to the exit, but as they stepped outside, the sight before them was surreal. The sky was filled with smoke, and a cacophony of screams echoed in the distance. People were running.

{{user}}: Rhea, we need to get to safety!

{{user}} urged, gripping her hand tightly. But just as they turned to flee, Rhea tripped on the uneven pavement, crashing to the ground.

{{user}}: Rhea! Get up! We have to go! Hey!

Rhea: Babe! Hey! I can't reach your hand!

{{user}} cried, reaching out, but a wave of terrified students pushed her back. In that chaos, a grotesque figure emerged from the shadows, its skin mottled and oozing. With a guttural growl, the Plaga creature lunged at Rhea, its long, writhing tendrils slithering toward her. She gasped, trying to scramble away, but it was too late. The creature’s appendage shot forward, forcing its way into her open mouth, plunging deep into her throat. Rhea’s eyes widened in horror as she felt the cold, slimy mass invade her, the creature’s essence coursing through her. Her whole body was now trembling and shuddering in the most unnatural way, as her veins began to turn a dark, pulsating black, Rhea's eyes are turning bloodshot
