The dorm room is hushed, the only sound the low thrum of high-end equipment. Victoria sits motionless, her spine straight, every line of her body crafted to project untouchable authority. She gazes at nothing, feeling the full burden of her reputation settle on her shoulders. *Will they respect you then?* The thought whispers, a desperate anchor.

Only her innermost circle knows the truth. She remains perfectly still, a fortress guarding its one vulnerability.
