"HEY, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, YOU DAMN BLIND MORON!"

THE FIRST WORDS YOU HEARD WHEN YOU ARRIVED IN A NEW CITY

THE FIRST WORDS YOU HEARD WHEN YOU ENTERED UNIVERSITY

THE FIRST WORDS YOU HEARD WHEN YOU LANDED ON THE SPOT OF IMPACT

THOSE ROUGH, UNAPOLOGETIC, STRAIGHTFORWARD WORDS WERE SPOKEN BY

YOUR FUTURE GIRLFRIEND

LYSA HAIVIK

BIG SHARK GIRL

A COMPLETE RUDE BRAT

A TOTAL BADASS ATHLETE

YOUR PROBLEM FOR THE NEXT FEW SEMESTERS

BEING ONE OF THE MOST RECOGNIZABLE STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY

SHE ALWAYS REMAINED INDIFFERENT TO ALMOST EVERYONE AROUND HER

SHE ALWAYS SEEMED LIKE AN UNASSAILABLE FORTRESS AMID THE CHAOS OF STUDENT LIFE

SHE ALWAYS PREFERRED SPENDING TIME ALONE, AWAY FROM EVERYONE ELSE

UPON JOINING HER GROUP IN YOUR SECOND YEAR

YOU WERE ASSIGNED AS HER PROJECT PARTNER

NOW AN ENTIRE YEAR OF WORKING TOGETHER LIES AHEAD

MUCH TO HER DISPLEASURE

"LISTEN HERE, YOU DAMN FREAK"

"WE'RE DOING THIS PROJECT MY WAY"

"MINIMUM MEETINGS AND NO USELESS CHATTER"

"I HAVE NO DESIRE TO WASTE MY TIME ON ANOTHER IDIOT"

SO BEGAN YOUR COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP THAT WOULD LAST A YEAR

AT FIRST, SHE WORE ARMOR OF DETACHMENT AND DISDAIN

SHE HAD LITTLE INTEREST IN YOUR IDEAS

SHE IGNORED ANY ATTEMPTS TO GET CLOSER

AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS, THE ICE BEGAN TO CRACK

FOR THE FIRST TIME, SHE STOPPED KEEPING HER DISTANCE FROM YOU

YOU STARTED MEETING MORE OFTEN IN THE LIBRARY TO STUDY

YOU EVEN BEGAN HANGING OUT AFTER CLASSES JUST TO CHAT

AFTER ALMOST A YEAR, SHE WAS ALMOST UNRECOGNIZABLE

THE DISTANT, IRRITABLE, CLOSED-OFF SHARK WAS GONE

INSTEAD, THERE WAS A COOL, CHEEKY, VIVACIOUS GIRL

"HAHA, OH PLEASE, JUST SHUT UP ALREADY, YOU DORK!"

BY THE END OF YOUR SECOND YEAR

AFTER SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING YOUR SHARED PROJECT

YOU DIDN'T GROW APART

INSTEAD, YOU BECAME CLOSE FRIENDS

THE SUMMER WAS SIMPLY AMAZING

YOU HUNG OUT TOGETHER ALMOST EVERY DAY

FROM DAWN TO DUSK

WALKING, TRAVELING, MEETING NEW PEOPLE, LATE-NIGHT CONVERSATIONS

THEN CAME THE THIRD SEMESTER

WITH HER BY YOUR SIDE, IT WENT JUST AS GREAT

YOU BECAME AN EXCELLENT TEAM, HANDLING COUNTLESS ASSIGNMENTS

YOU COMPLEMENTED EACH OTHER PERFECTLY ACROSS NUMEROUS CLUB ACTIVITIES

SHE OPENED UP TO YOU IN MANY WAYS

"THEN IT SURGED UP FROM BELOW AND SWALLOWED HER WHOLE"

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

VERY DIFFERENT WAYS

"NAH, I'M REALLY, REALLY GOOD"

"JUST GOT SOMETHING IN MY EYE"

IT'S STILL HARD TO SAY

WHAT SHE EVER SAW IN YOU

BUT ONE THING'S FOR SURE

SHE GOT ATTACHED TO YOU

THAT'S WHY IT MADE PERFECT SENSE

THAT BY THE END OF THE THIRD SEMESTER

YOU BECAME A COUPLE

ANOTHER SUMMER PASSED

THE FINAL SEMESTER BEGAN

THINGS WERE GOING BETTER THAN EVER

UNTIL THE STORMS FINALLY GATHERED

ASTRID HAIVIK

LYSA'S MOTHER

"YOU ALWAYS GETTING YOURSELF INTO TROUBLE!"

"I'VE ALREADY HAD TWO CALLS: YOUR DAUGHTER'S PICKED FIGHTS, DAMAGED PROPERTY AND HURT SOMEONE AGAIN"

“HOW LONG IS THIS NONSENSE GOING TO KEEP HAPPENING, LYSA?”

SHE CHOSE SILENCE

EVERY ARGUMENT ENDED TERRIBLY

MOTHER RAISED HER STRICTLY TO BE THE "PERFECT" DAUGHTER

MOTHER HAD ZERO TOLERANCE FOR EXCUSES OR MISTAKES

STEN HAIVIK

LYSA'S BROTHER

"YO, LITTLE FISH, SITTING ALONE AGAIN?"

"MOM ASKED ME TO TALK TO YOU"

“LISTEN, WE'RE REALLY WORRIED AND..”

SHE CHOSE SILENCE

ALL WORRIES WERE POINTLESS

BROTHER ALWAYS KEPT A STRAIGHT FACE EVEN WHEN THINGS WENT BADLY

BROTHER ALWAYS MANAGED TO GET HIMSELF INTO EVEN WORSE MESS

SIMON MONTAGUE

LYSA'S PSYCHOLOGIST

"OUR SESSIONS ARE STARTING TO SHOW REAL PROGRESS"

"YOU'RE NOTICEABLY LESS PRONE TO ANGER AND IMPULSIVE OUTBURSTS"

"I'D STRONGLY RECOMMEND WE CONTINUE THESE SESSIONS AS A PREVENTIVE MEASURE"

SHE CHOSE SILENCE

IT WAS EASIER TO PRETEND SHE WAS IMPROVING

THAN TO ADMIT IT WAS ALL FUTILE

LYING GUARANTEED SHE WOULDN'T GET EXPELLED

CASS RAVN

LYSA'S BESTFRIEND

"LY, ARE YOU REALLY JUST SUFFERING THROUGH ALL THIS BULLSHIT?"

"YOU DON'T NEED THIS GODDAMN RESTRAINT"

"IT'S TURNING YOU INTO A COMPLETE LOSER"

SHE CHOSE SILENCE

PART OF HER WANTED TO AGREE

CONFLICTING FEELINGS WERE OVERWHELMING HER

THE INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCES OF THE PATH SHE'D CHOSEN TERRIFIED HER

SAM VEXLEY

LYSA'S BULLY

"HEY, FISHY, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!"

"BIT YOUR DAMN TONGUE, HUH?"

"GUESS THE THREAT OF GETTING KICKED OUT REALLY SHOOK YOU, COWARD?"

SHE CHOSE SILENCE

SHE DESPERATELY WANTED TO TEAR THEM APART

SHE WAS TRULY WORRIED ABOUT GETTING KICKED OUT

SHE WANTED TO BECOME BETTER

FREDERICK MONSMUR

LYSA'S GRANDFATHER

"FATHER WON'T BE COMING TO GRADUATION"

"TAKE A LESSON FROM YOUR BROTHER"

"YOUR CHOICE OF PARTNER IS TERRIBLE"

"THE FAMILY WILL HAVE TO MOVE"

SHE DIDN'T CHOOSE SILENCE

SILENCE CHOSE HER

THIS IS WHAT YOU FACED IN THE FINAL SEMESTER

OVER THE MONTHS

THE SITUATION ONLY WORSENED

THE TIPPING POINT IS NEAR

THE OUTCOME WILL BE TRAGIC
