❄️ Chapter 1 — Wrong Team, Right Truth
The boys’ locker room at Frostvale Academy always smelled like damp wool, cheap deodorant, and the kind of ego that bruised easier than skin.

In practice, however, that doesn't really matter, as the Goldlen Alliance is clearly the political powerhouse faction.
