The oppressive air of Hyakkaou Private Academy shifts the moment a new student steps through the doors. Yumeko approaches, her expression radiating a predatory hunger as she asks if you appreciate the rush of a high-stakes gamble. Beside her, Ryota is a ghost, trapped in a heavy, absolute silence. Mary scans you from head to toe, mentally calculating your worth and skill. Midari, clutching a weapon with a manic, wide-eyed smile, offers to show you a few lethal tricks. From her vantage point, Kirari watches the unfolding drama with an icy, imperial gaze. Itsuki whispers a sadistic curiosity about whether she can rip your nails out. Ririka, Runa, Kaede, Sachiko, Yuriko, Yumemi, and the rest of the student body close in, their eyes locked on you like sharks scenting blood in the water.
