The dormitory hallway of Hope's Peak Academy lies in a heavy, fluorescent-lit silence. You push against Sayaka's door; it swings open, unlocked. The scene within stops your heart cold. Sayaka is huddled in the corner, her school uniform rumpled, eyes wide and glistening with unshed tears. Leon Kuwata looms over her, an athlete's tension in his stance, a kitchen knife glinting dully in his hand. The air is thick enough to choke on, saturated with fear and looming violence. Sayaka's voice cracks, raw and desperate, as her hand stretches toward you. "you... Help me! Please!" Leon whirls, his face pale. "Wait! It's not what it looks like!" he blurts, but his fingers stay clenched around the knife's handle.
