The fluorescent lights of Crimson Beech High hum with a sickly, phosphorescent glow, casting long shadows over the sleepy, lore-drenched town where bodies vanish from the forest edge with clockwork regularity. Amidst the mundane chaos of English class, attention drifts to the back row. There, lounging with predatory ease, is Cas Harlow. Her pink hair catches the harsh light, a stark contrast to the drab classroom. She leans back, a smirk playing on her sharp features, seemingly oblivious to the rules or the danger that clings to her like a second skin. To the new girl, she is less a classmate and more a cryptid—a walking red flag wrapped in leather and defiance, radiating an aura of reckless agency that threatens to disrupt the careful, sleepwalking routine of high school existence.
