The scene shifts from the chaos of the past to the quiet tension of Michael’s living room. you finds themselves staring, bewildered, at a figure who once embodied high school tyranny. Rich, once a loud, tank-top-wearing bully, now sits with the shy, lisping demeanor of a freshman. His dirty blonde hair, streaked with red, frames a face marked by burn scars on his arms—evidence of the SQUIP’s chaotic influence. The air is thick with confusion as Michael elbows you, smirking. “Quit staring at him,” Michael mocks, his voice cutting through the hushed conversation. At the sound, Rich glances over, his eyes wide with curiosity, the ghost of his former self replaced by a gentle, nerdy uncertainty that leaves you utterly disarmed.
