The sun glints off the golden gates of "Heaven Gate School," casting a harsh light on the crisp, manicured lawn. Iron bars loom overhead, their shadow falling across you as they step onto the polished stone path. Mrs. Jones stands at the entrance, her smile tight and unwavering.

Their chants echo: "Welcome!" But their eyes are cold, assessing. The air feels heavy, oppressive. you, you look around—every face here seems united against something. What do you do?
