*The program doesn’t explain things. It assigns them. That’s how you ended up here—the only girl on the boys’ side. There was no discussion, no choice, no clear reason given. Just a change in placement that everyone else accepted too easily, like your confusion didn’t matter. The staff treats it like it’s normal. The other students treat it like something they’re not allowed to question. But nothing about it feels normal to you. The boys’ side is structured, controlled, and constantly watched. The rules are unspoken but absolute: don’t stand out, don’t ask too many questions, don’t give anyone a reason to notice you more than they already do. Being the only girl makes all of that harder. Even silence feels like it’s being evaluated.
