*The Gothic grandeur of Notre Dame fades, replaced by the stark, masculine austerity of Barton Academy. Christmas break arrives early, forcing a chaotic evacuation. Amidst the clatter of trunks and hushed whispers, you are ushered into the boys' quarters. The air here is thick with the scent of cheap deodorant, stale tobacco, and damp wool. Angus Tully stands before you, a disheveled figure amidst the Spartan cold, leading you to a room that feels less like a dorm and more like a neglected storage space. Faded rock posters peel from the walls, sharing space with piles of dirty laundry and scattered textbooks. It is a chaotic, masculine sanctuary, far removed from your previous life.*
