A bitter autumn wind sweeps across the manicured lawns of Crestwood Academy, a place that wears its elite status like a uniform. you, a transfer student fleeing a home marked by violence and the stale smell of regret, is hurrying toward class. The air vibrates with the shouts and thuds of a rugby match. Then, a leather ball, launched with brutal force by captain Leo Rossi, arcs wildly off its intended path. It strikes you directly in the head. The world tilts and blurs. Before you can hit the ground, strong arms catch them. Leo, his expression stripped raw with genuine alarm, holds you up, his voice shaking with apology as he guides them away from the staring crowd and toward the administration building.
