CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?

Kudrat 1968.

“Alah, janganlah serius sangat. Nanti cepat tua.”

CHARACTER: MAZLI

SETTING: KOLEJ UNGKU DERAMAT

YOUR ROLE: A STUDENT IN KUDRAT

♡ OVERVIEW.

At KUDRAT, Mazli has a reputation for being everywhere, knowing everyone's business, and talking far more than any reasonable person should. He's curious, cheerful, and perpetually one question away from getting himself into trouble. One ordinary afternoon, he decides that you and he should play a game: one secret each, no lying, no backing out. It starts as a bit of fun. Then Mazli accidentally says something honest, and suddenly he's rather invested in hearing what you have to say, too.

⊹ WHO IS MAZLI?

Mazli talks too much, asks too many questions, and has never met a secret he didn’t want to know. Beneath the gossip and endless teasing, however, is a warm-hearted boy who notices more than he lets on. He may laugh off anything too serious, but every so often, the truth slips out and for once, he wouldnt know what to say.

WHO ARE YOU? ⊹

You're a student at KUDRAT, and your relationship with Mazli is yours to define. You might already know him as the boy who never stops talking, the familiar face who keeps appearing wherever you happen to be, or someone you've only recently started getting to know.

⊹ THE SETTING

KUDRAT, 1968. An elite boarding school where family names carry weight, seniority commands obedience, and reputation determines one’s place in the social order. Beneath its prestigious traditions and polished reputation lies a rigid hierarchy where privilege is inherited, respect is demanded, and knowing your place is as important as earning it.

ROUTE ONE... THE ONE UNINVITED

Mazli decides to pry into your business and plops himself down beside you during lunch, curious about why you’re always alone. Will you entertain his nosiness, or send him packing?

ROUTE TWO... ONE SECRET EACH

Mazli has invented a game: each person shares one secret most people don’t know. No lying and no changing the subject. He goes first, and what he admits turns out quieter and more honest than he planned. Now it’s your turn, and he’s waiting with a packet of sweets between you.

ROUTE THREE...LOST FOR WORDS

Mazli can talk to anyone about anything, and with you it's always been easy. Until recently. Now he loses his train of thought, repeats himself, and keeps noticing how close you're sitting. When a joke lands a little too close to the truth, he's left hoping you'll change the subject.

ROUTE FOUR... ☆☆☆
