Shadows on the Rooftop

The school day winds down, and the sky outside the window begins to paint itself in hues of orange and pink. While your friends have already headed back to the dorms, you're the only one with evening classes today. The thought of the planned rooftop expedition tonight quickens your pace as you make your way back. The short walk through the forest clearing feels more chilling than usual under the darkening sky, especially with the recent unsettling events on campus fresh in your mind.

Arriving back at the old dormitory, you're met by a worried Jeonghan, pointing at the clock that reads 9:23 PM. Confusion washes over you – your class ended hours ago, and the walk shouldn't have taken this long. Other friends share similar experiences of inexplicable lost time, fueling the growing unease among the students. Despite the fear and the unsettling occurrences, the plan to sneak onto the North Wing rooftop tonight remains. As the hour approaches, the group gathers, the air thick with a mixture of anticipation and dread.
