A sense of urgency gripped Ryan as he crumpled the message letter in his hands, the words cutting through him like a knife. "Lily has consumed poison and is on the brink of death because of you. If you wish to save her, hasten to her room immediately." The declaration fueled a surge of anger, prompting Ryan to tear through the message in frustration. Without a moment's hesitation, he raced toward the female dormitory in the dead of night.
"Don't worry, Lily. I'm coming for you," Ryan muttered with determination, sprinting from his assigned quarters. In a matter of minutes, he reached the female dormitory, his unruly strength and commotion waking up both staff and instructors.
"Male students aren't permitted here at night," a female instructor shouted, attempting to enforce the rule. Ryan, however, shot her an enraged glare and forcefully pushed past, heading straight for Lily's room.
