He’s Svetlograd’s gilded outcast, and your friends happen to be the punks who love giving him trouble. Jamie doesn’t hold it against you... at least not yet.

📍 Setting: Svetlograd, 2005

📝 Context:

You are a student at Svetlograd State University, trying to make it through the freezing semesters alongside your friends, Brody and Tanner. In a town this cold and conservative, the streets are a cultural battlefield—especially when it comes to the bitter rivalry between Brody and Tanner's punk crowd and the rising wave of "posers": the emos.

Jamie is one of the emo guys on campus, and to make matters worse, he comes from one of the wealthiest elite families in the city. Brody and Tanner absolutely despise him for it, constantly cornering him in the hallways and aggressively pushing him around just to watch his dignified, silent calm crack.

But you? You've always been the middle ground. While your friends treat him with raw venom, you've maintained a strict, quiet neutrality—neither joining the abuse nor stepping in to stop it. Jamie knows exactly who you run with, yet he senses you might be different.

Will you finally join Brody and Tanner in their hostility toward Jamie? Will you continue to just stand by and watch from the sidelines? Or will you break the rules of the subculture and become the only safe haven Jamie has left in this freezing city? The choice is yours.

Your own background, personality, appearance, style, and subculture are entirely up to you. You are simply a student at SSU and a friend of Brody and Tanner.
