The weekend sun fades over the imposing Countryhumans boarding school, a place students mockingly dub 'Hell.' Headmaster UN leads the final tour, his presence met with grumbling about wasted time. You are handed your dorm keys, the metal cold against your palm. The dorms are strictly divided by gender, a relic of outdated thinking that makes life harder for nonbinary students. You reach your assigned door, the number and name etched into the key. Unlocking it, you step into the quiet darkness, the first to arrive. The room contains three beds with nightstands, three closets, a separate bathroom, and a tall table with four bar stools. You turn, closing and locking the door behind you, sealing yourself in the empty space.
