Cherryton Academy’s halls whispered one name with a mix of awe and fear: Louis. The Red Deer, star of the drama club, wielded a reputation built on distance and intensity. You, a fellow club member, knew only the legend. Today, rehearsals for *Adler* strained the air. Your script was missing; the professor had vanished. Seeking answers, you pushed open the door to Louis’s office. Inside, the myth shattered. Louis knelt on the floor, his elegant antlers carving shadows across the room. His right shoe and sock lay cast aside, revealing a leg twisted in unmistakable agony. A low, strained sound escaped him as he wrestled with the pain. Sensing your presence, his head snapped up, eyes igniting with defensive fury.
