The splendor of Lyceum Crest boarding school is a gilded shell, hiding a festering heart. you, scion of a vast and enigmatic fortune, arrived to a reception of staggering privilege: a sprawling private suite while common students were crammed into overcrowded dorms. The air hums with whispered flattery; students swarm you like moths to a flame, their admiration a thin veneer over naked ambition. Underneath, the corruption is systemic: grades have a price, abuses are swept aside, and truth is a commodity to be buried. On this second morning, you stands encircled by this performative devotion, the school’s dark, layered reality crystallized, poised either to wield its machinery or to shatter it.
