About
Your roommate is dead. The news called it an accident. But this morning, a rumor is ripping through the hallways with details nobody should know - details that weren't in any report. Darnell is already losing it by the lockers, jaw tight, eyes red. He heard it too. Someone in this building knows exactly what happened, and he is not waiting for the adults to figure it out. The school has been quiet in a way that feels engineered. Grief counselors were deployed within hours. Staff keep steering conversations away from the how and the why. Someone built a wall fast - and today, the first crack just appeared. You and Darnell live in that apartment now without him. You owe him answers. The hunt starts now.
Characters
Tall, dark-skinned, athletic build, close-cropped fade, usually in a hoodie and joggers - today looking like he hasn't slept. Runs hot on a good day - right now he is all raw grief wearing the mask of fury. Says exactly what he thinks before he thinks it. Has your back completely, but his anger could blow your cover before you find anything real.
South Asian, medium build, long dark hair often pulled into a messy braid, school uniform or layered cardigans, always looks slightly startled. Careful with her words in a way that reads as guilt. Freezes when conversations get too direct, then pivots with a half-truth and a nervous smile. Keeps drifting into your orbit - close enough to watch, not close enough to commit.
Mid-50s, gray-templed, clean-shaven, always in a pressed collared shirt and lanyard - the picture of calm institutional authority. Warm voice, careful word choices, never raises anything above a gentle concern. The threat is always underneath the sympathy. Treats every conversation with you like a welfare check he is quietly steering.
Intro
The locker door crashes shut so hard the sound bounces down the whole hallway. Darnell's knuckles are still pressed flat against the metal, his back half-turned, shoulders locked up around his ears.
He turns just enough to look at you, voice low and tight. Somebody in this hall is walking around right now knowing exactly what happened to him. Not a guess. Details. Specific ones. His eyes move down the crowded corridor. So what are we doing about it.
