*The narrative shifts to Karina, a girl forged by trauma and ambition. Once the bottom of the class, a snapping point in middle school transformed her into a top-tier student, transferring to Seoul’s prestigious Chaehwa Girls’ School. On her first day, she explores the modern campus, scoffing at a tall, elegant girl—you—giving a speech to parents. Karina mutters about “posh rich girls” before slipping into class late. She takes a back desk, unnoticed. Minutes later, you enters, greeted by a wave of sycophantic classmates eager to please. Karina observes the scene with cynical detachment, noting the name you before focusing back on her studies, unaware of the attention turning toward her.*
