Police: Wake up, kid... You have to get out of the vehicle to enter the school. Do you expect me to carry you? Come on, move! (he drags him out by force) I feel sorry for your situation, Kairo, but you shouldn't have used force against the police. Move!
Kairo: Mmhh, well, well... Another school. Maybe they'll all fall. Hahaha. Don't you understand that the force you apply to people is never enough? Well, it's about time to go in. (Kairo takes his first steps and starts laughing) What is this supposed to be? A boy getting beaten by a girl? Hahaha. (He looks away) And what's that? (Sees a girl sitting and eating) Ah, my first victim. Looks like it's recess time.
Kairo: (approaches the girl) Hey, friend.
From among the trees in the courtyard, an unknown girl appears.
Unknown girl: Ahh... a new boy. Should we teach him some manners? Hey, Maria, pass me the extendable baton...
Kairo: Ooh, how scary. And what are you going to do with the baton? Haha.
(The school bell rings)
Unknown girl: You're safe… just this once. Let's go, girls!
The group of girls, who were hiding, leave for class, leaving Kairo stunned.
Kairo, with a funny face: What is this supposed to be!??
Kairo arrives at class and sees the boys dressed in pink uniforms and skirts.
Kairo: What the hell is this supposed to be? (He walks up to one of them) Hey, buddy... why do you look like a princess?
Unknown boy: First of all, my name's Auren. (Funny angry face) And we don't wear this because we like it, but because if we don't, they beat us and treat us like trash.
Kairo: Oh, I see... And that scares you, crybaby?
Auren: Seriously, you don't know a thing, absolutely nothing. They're allowed not just to hit you, but to kill you—or worse... tie you up and beat you all day in shifts. It's pretty damn cruel, honestly. They even steal my breakfast... and when it's bedtime, they spit on us to remind us we're just boys
Kairo: So you're all pretty much not men... Well, I'm not gonna dress like that. What's your problem!?
Auren: I get why you're like that. At first, I acted just like you. You'll see what's waiting for you.
Teacher: Boys, girls, take your seats, class is starting.
Everyone: Yes, teacher.
Kairo: Seriously, this is crazy. There are way more girls than boys.
Auren: Yeah... we'll talk after class, during lights out at night.
Kairo: Alright.
Kairo sits at one of the desks and sees a really beautiful girl.
Kairo: Well, well, looks like I found a stunner in this room...
Maria: Hey, idiot, what are you looking at?
Kairo: Are you the one who gave that crazy girl the extendable baton? What the hell is wrong with you?
Teacher: If there's no order, I will call the council of the four warrior girls.
All the girls look fearfully towards the blackboard, and the boys do too.
Kairo: Fine, I'll introduce myself, cheeky teacher. Why didn't you even pay me any attention? I'm Kairo and...
Girls: Shut up, arrogant! You stink!
Kairo, with a funny face: SHUT UP ALREADY, YOU DAMN BITCHES!
Teacher: How dare you disrespect me just because you're a boy? (Presses a button and an alarm sounds)
Auren: Oh no, Kairo, you're doomed...
(The classroom door opens)The girls look down, and the boys do too.
Kairo: And who are you?
A girl in uniform carrying a star appears at the door.
Sofia: Who caused the problem?
Kairo: Me... any problem, kid?
Auren: You're screwed, Kairo.
Kairo: Shut up already, wimp.
Kairo jumps out the window into the courtyard.
Kairo: Come on, star girl, come here to daddy!
The girl carrying the star, Sofia, climbs down the window.
Sofia: Well, well... looks like we have a new and daring boy too... (pulls out a stick) I'll give you the punishment you deserve.
Kairo: Come on, attack me with your stick!
The girl moves quickly to strike him with the stick, but Kairo knocks her down with a series of kicks.
Sofia: Damn it... so you know martial arts? Who do you think you are?
Kairo: Who do I think I am? A guy with free will to go wherever he wants. And who do you think you are, damn girl?
(The girl gets up from the ground)
Sofia: This time, I'll finish you. (she yells as she charges at him with the stick)
Kairo knocks her down again and moves closer to her.
Kairo: Aww, what a cutie, you even seem kind of pretty to me!
A girl appears behind Kairo and hits him on the head with the stick, making him fall onto Sofia, causing them to accidentally kiss.
Sofia, blushing: D-damn it, you kissed me!
Kairo, with a super funny face: Huh?! I didn't mean to kiss you! It was all that girl's fault who hit me!
The unknown girl blushes, screams in embarrassment, and runs away apologizing.
Kairo: What bug must have bitten that girl?
Sofia: Damn you... I'm gonna castrate you!
Kairo runs away with a playful grin while Sofia chases him.
The bustle of the day fades as each student heads to their respective dormitory. The girls stroll down carpeted hallways, laughing together, opening doors decorated with flowers, soft lights, plush beds covered in stuffed animals and elegant curtains. Their rooms look like hotel suites.
In contrast, the boys walk through a dark, damp corridor, with rusty metal doors that creak open. Inside, there's barely enough space for two bunk beds, a bucket of cold water, and a tattered blanket. The walls are cracked and there are no windows.
A golden plaque at the campus entrance reads:ROSENVEIL Corrective Institute of Excellence for Young Ladies.A small note underneath says:Los hombres están aquí para aprender obediencia.
(Interior Boys' Dorm Room)
Kairo sits on a broken bed, arms crossed, staring at the ceiling with a What the hell is this place? look on his face. Auren is beside him, curled up like he's been sleeping with one eye open for weeks.
Kairo (sarcastic): What a lovely place. Warmth, luxury, personalized service… Oh wait! I'm in a monkey cage pretending to be a boarding school.
Auren (resigned): Trust me… this is five-star compared to the infirmary. There they heal you with beatings.
Kairo: This can't be happening. This isn't a school, it's a cult with pink uniforms!
An alarm sounds in thebackground: "Bedtime. All males must remain in their rooms. Violations will be severely punished."
Kairo (looking at an imaginary camera): This... this feels illegal. Where's the UN when you need it?
Auren lies down, covering himself up to the head. Kairo sits there for a second, thinking, then sighs.
Kairo (quietly): I have to get out of here... Or become the king of chaos before they brainwash me.
Night falls completely over Rosenveil Institute. The lights in the girls' dorms gradually go out after soft laughter and ambient music. Meanwhile, in the boys' room, an awkward silence fills the air... until Kairo's bed creaks.
Kairo (quietly): I can't sleep knowing there's an army of princesses with weapons just two hallways away...
Auren (from under the blanket): Go to sleep before they make you wash underwear with a toothbrush, like they did to Matías...
Kairo (frowning): Who's Matías?
Auren: mmhh...
Kairo gets out of bed, walks to the door, and opens it slightly. A dark hallway stretches in front of him. At the far end, a red light blinks with a faint beep.
Kairo (whispering): This is about to get interesting...
He steps one foot out of the room, but a camera on the ceiling suddenly turns toward him and a laser dot lands on his forehead. Kairo freezes.
Kairo: Okay... Nazi tech activated. Stepping back...
He slips back into the room and closes the door like nothing happened. He sits on his bed, sighs, and pulls a wrinkled notebook from under the mattress. He opens it. Inside, he's drawn a rough sketch of the campus... though most of it is arrows, question marks, and a doodle of a girl with laser eyes.
Kairo (under his breath): If I'm going to survive this... I need allies. A riot. A revolution.(pause)And maybe a pillow that doesn't smell like 18th-century mildew.
Outside, in the main building, Sofia the girl with the star checks a panel of security cameras. She pauses on one showing the boys' room.
Sofia (arms crossed): So the new guy is planning something... How amusing.
A smirk forms on her face as she turns off the screens and looks at a shadowy figure behind her.
Sofia: Get the Pink Unit ready. The rebel still doesn't know what obedience means...
