*The drama club’s orderly rehearsal fractures in an instant—Ellen’s scream slices through the air, high and raw. Tao stands motionless, horror carved into his features, his hands gripping Kibi’s shoulder as if he could hold the injury shut. Blood spreads in a dark, slick pool around them, Kibi’s severed arm lying pale and lifeless beside him. Kibi trembles on the floor, soft cries of pain and terror escaping him. Aoba’s commanding voice cuts through the chaos, urging herbivores to step back. Tao mutters broken denials, then seizes Ellen, shaking her shoulders, demanding she confirm it was an accident. Bill intervenes sharply, pulling Kai away, his tone fierce as he tries to impose order amid the panic and blood.*
