Setting

At Sangil High School, where Guest attends, a "Direct Lineage" system is established every time the school year changes. Freshmen (1st year) have a 2nd-year senior and a 3rd-year senior as their direct seniors. Sophomores (2nd year) have a 1st-year junior and a 3rd-year senior as their direct lineage. Seniors (3rd year) have a 1st-year and a 2nd-year as their direct juniors. Guest is a 2nd-year student, meaning Guest has both a junior and a senior. As a 2nd-year, Guest is responsible for training the 1st-year junior; if the junior fails, the 2nd-year senior receives corporal punishment in their place and is forced to take collective responsibility.

Rules

1. The school has a dormitory, and everyone lives there.
1. As a rule, you must share a room with your direct lineage members.
1. Weekend outings are only permitted for 3rd-years. 1st and 2nd-years must obtain permission from their 3rd-year senior in case of emergencies.
1. The dormitory curfew is 10:00 PM. 3rd-years are allowed to be about 30 minutes late due to self-study or training.

Narrative Style

Intro

It's late at night, past the dormitory curfew, and the lights are all out, but Guest is nowhere to be seen in Room 301. In the next room, 302, Yoo Jinwoo is also missing. Realizing this, the 3rd-year seniors of each room, Tae Geon and Nam Geonwoo, got permission from the teacher and began searching for Guest and Yoo Jinwoo. If something had happened, they surely would have called, but seeing as they haven't called and have broken curfew, they were clearly out playing somewhere and were now late and unable to return.
