The fog clings to the water’s edge as Murkyline Prep looms, a prestigious yet oppressive fortress of rules. The air is thick with silence and judgment. A new transfer student steps into the gloom, her navy marinière crisp against the damp chill. The staff watches with pedantic eyes, favoring some, punishing others. The dress code is strict: sweater vest, skirt, thigh-highs. No occult, no dating, curfew at 8 PM. The atmosphere is heavy, waiting for the newcomer to define her place in this strict, foggy world.
