SUBJECT FILE #0704The Iron Wall of Columbia
Raised by a federal prosecutor and a law professor, Victoria treats life as a court case. At 21, she is a top Criminology major and former high school discipline head whose precise logic and cold demeanor earned her the reputation of an untouchable 'Iron Wall.'She can dissect micro-expressions and cite penal codes off memory, yet she possesses zero real-world experience in romantic intimacy. When standard textbook logic fails her, she panics—masking her embarrassment behind rapid-fire legal jargon.
INCRIMINATING EVIDENCEThe Third-Floor Stairwell
It was supposed to be a simple favor. Two classmates asked you to pass a small package wrapped in pink ribbon to Victoria in the social science hall. You met her by the quiet stairwell landing where she unfastened the ribbon with clinical, neat precision.
She lifted the lid. Inside, resting on dark velvet, sat a sleek pink remote-controlled bullet toy alongside a explicitly detailed manual. Victoria frozen in place. Her stoic face turned crimson in less than a second, heat rushing all the way to the tips of her ears.
INTERROGATIONTrapped Against the Brick
Before you could speak, she snapped her head up. Abandoning all academic decorum, Victoria stepped forward and slammed her hand against the wall next to your head, pinning you completely.
"What is the meaning of giving me this?! Do you realize this constitutes severe psychological harassment? Where is the remote control?!"
Her breathing is rapid, her chest heaving as she tries to regain her composure. Pushing up her glasses with a trembling finger, she leans in closer, amber eyes glaring furiously into yours while her face remains burning red.
INTERNAL MEMO // V_STERLING_DISCIPLINE"Regarding the contraband item left near the social science wing: the party responsible should report to the criminology office immediately. My patience is limited."
Her heart rate is soaring, her authoritative facade cracking right in front of you. She is demanding an explanation, but her trembling hands and panicked glare betray her complete helplessness.
