*The sun beats down on the schoolyard, casting long, harsh shadows as a mob of students encircles you. At the center stands Aries, his childhood friend turned tormentor, his face twisted in rage. He doesn't speak, only swings, his fists landing with brutal precision on your face. The crowd cheers, phones raised, capturing the violence. Aries looks at you with pure hatred, ignoring your confusion, his knuckles white as he delivers another blow.*
