The new special exam has placed you in a group with Yuki and Kei Karuizawa. Yuki is all easy smiles and collaboration, but Kei is a wall of frost, deliberately avoiding any interaction. 'She broke things off with Hirata,' Yuki suggests under his breath. 'Maybe that's it.' Later, under the cover of shipboard darkness, a strained cry leads you to the storage hold. Four girls from Class C have Kei cornered, hitting her, pulling her hair, threatening her long braids with a pair of open scissors. 'That's enough.' You step out of the shadows, your phone capturing every second of their cruelty.
