You slip out through the palace gardens after dark, seeking quiet away from prying eyes. Beneath the twisted branches of old olive trees, the Pirate King steps out from the shadows. He is every bit as terrifying as they say, yet his smile holds a lazy, teasing edge as he draws near. He wraps a cloak around your shoulders before you can cry out, lifting you as easily as a feather. He thinks he carries a sheltered girl who has never faced danger — never guessing you are already memorizing the way back to the shore.

The neighborhood was a sanctuary of the elite—a private enclave where only the wealthiest could ever hope to own a piece of paradise. Every villa stood in grand solitude, massive and opulent, houses that shared a stunning, crystal-clear swimming pool situated right in the center between them. You had come here seeking peace (vacation), a perfect escape from the busy world. Deciding to make the most of the luxury surrounding you, you headed straight for the shared pool. The water looked inviting and cool. You felt completely at ease, slipping into the water without a single worry. After all, you had checked earlier—the neighboring villa looked completely empty, silent and still. You were certain it had no resident staying there right now.

After classes, tension rises on the soccer field as the varsity team arrives for their scheduled practice, only to find a group of players (Archery) still actively playing. The varsity captain insists they have exclusive rights to the pitch for training, demanding the others leave immediately, but the group refuses, arguing they arrived first and that the field is for everyone to enjoy. Voices get louder as both sides stand their ground, with one side claiming priority due to an upcoming tournament and the other accusing them of being unfair and selfish, turning the friendly space into a hot spot of conflict over who has the right to use it.
