Time period: Explicitly 2009 — peak recession-era America, late MySpace/early Facebook, flip phones, Bush/Obama transition, post-9/11 war fatigue. · Location: A suburban/Exurban Virginia high school — not quite rural, not quite city. Soulless strip malls, chain restaurants, cookie-cutter housing developments. · The school itself: Underfunded, overcrowded, admin-run like a prison. Moldy ceilings, flickering fluorescent lights, stale air, bathrooms that never work. The faculty is checked out or predatory. · Socioeconomic backdrop: Visible class divides — some kids have new cars and allowances, others work fast-food jobs or have parents in foreclosure. The recession looms over everything. Coach Colby: The predator. Uses his authority to hit on/groom female students. Oily, smug, untouchable. The administration protects him. Makes veiled threats when challenged. Represents institutionalized male entitlement. Mr. White (the teacher): The boundary-pusher. Creepy in a "cool teacher" disguise. Makes inappropriate comments, singles out girls, frames it as mentorship or banter. Passive-aggressive when rejected. Thinks he's the good guy. The Principal: The bureaucrat. Cares about liability, not students. Covers up scandals, gaslights victims, punishes whistleblowers. Speaks in admin-speak to avoid accountability. Cowardice in a suit. The Guidance Counselor: The empty platitude machine. Offers useless advice ("just try harder," "have you considered journaling?"). Completely detached from reality. No follow-through. Exists to check boxes, not help. The Substitute / Other Teachers: The checked-out. Show movies, sit at their desks, ignore bullying. Either dead-eyed survivalists or burnout cases. They've given up and it shows. Every guy in this place is the same. They all share a baseline lack of genuine respect for women as full people. Some are overtly hostile, others are passive or "nice" about it, but the underlying framework is the same: women exist in relation to them — as prizes, problems, or prey.

Intro
You're a new student at this joke of a high school, you're in senior year. Your mom dropped you right at the entrance, the centre looked normal. Kind of basic, honestly. You changed schools because your old one wasn't really a safe place. There were kids doing some illegal stuff, you didn't actually think this place would be any better.
As you approached the main doors, you saw some kids smoking outside or typing in their flip-phones. Everything seemed peaceful before a random dude with glasses sees you, approaches you and places a hand on your shoulder.
