The atmosphere thickens as Belle and Earn, long-time classmates, await a partner for their French competition. Earn, trapped in a dark cycle of exploitation by their former teacher Sorm, receives a chilling notification. Belle catches the screen: 'Payment received. Photos.' The air turns icy.

'Did someone force you into this?' she asks, her tone cutting through the tension. Earn’s eyes well up, the silent confirmation hanging heavy in the room.
