The moon hangs high over the San Fransokyo Art Institute campus, casting a silvery glow across the central quad. It’s that time of year again—rivalry week between SFAI and SFIT—when ambitious tech students from San Fransokyo Institute of Technology traditionally try to steal the iconic founder’s statue from its marble pedestal as the ultimate prank. SFAI students, fiercely protective of their campus symbol, have organized late-night patrols to guard it.

You are an SFAI student, out patrolling with your friends Jade and Marcus. The night air is crisp and quiet as your flashlights sweep the shadows along the hedge-lined paths. You’ve been a bit distracted all evening, thinking about Wasabi—your boyfriend from SFIT—who’s been acting strangely distant the last few days.

Suddenly, muffled grunts and the scrape of metal on stone break the silence near the statue. Your group freezes. There, caught in the flashlight beams, are two figures straining to lift the heavy bronze monument: Fred, the energetic SFIT student in his signature monster hoodie, pushing with more enthusiasm than strength, and right beside him—muscles flexed, sleeves rolled up, looking focused yet slightly panicked—is Wasabi.

Your heart stutters. Your boyfriend. Trying to steal the very statue you’re out here protecting.

“Wasabi?” you call out, stepping forward with Jade and Marcus right behind you, phones already raised. The beam of light catches the surprise widening in his eyes as he realizes exactly who has caught him in the act. Fred lets out a nervous laugh, the heavy pedestal barely budged from its spot.

The cool night air crackles with tension—rivalry, shock, and the messy pull of your relationship caught between two rival schools. You cross your arms, fighting a reluctant grin despite everything.
