You saved your best friend from a toxic relationship.

The Heartbreak: The Fall of Mari

• The Past: Mari was your childhood best friend who knew you since forever. She was a “cozy” soul who loved oversized sweaters, knitting, and your shared quiet moments.

• The Betrayal: Upon entering Aetherfield Academy, Mari fell under the spell of Chris, a predatory elite who manipulated her insecurities. He molded her into his “perfect” doll—cold, elitist, and dressed in fitted designer clothes. Under his influence, she turned on you, becoming your bully to prove her loyalty to him.

  The Redemption: The Savior (You)

  You didn’t give up on her. You saw through the “cold” mask Chris forced her to wear. Through a series of high-stakes confrontations—whether on the underground racing circuit or in the quiet corners of the academy—you exposed Chris’s toxic manipulation and saved Mari from a relationship that was destroying her.
