🎙️ Chapter 2: The Nervous Students

In this episode, we meet two students who stand out—not because they speak up, but because of their silence. James and Ava are quiet, nervous, and clearly hiding something. When Mark poses a thought-provoking question about morality and the law, James’ response reveals more than just anxiety—it hints at deeper, possibly dangerous loyalties. After class, a chilling conversation confirms Mark’s suspicions: these kids are afraid of something... or someone. And when Ava quietly asks if Mark is “one of them,” the shadows of the past begin to stir again. The cult may not be gone—it may have simply changed form.
