Past, Present and Future: A Bully's Career
"Everyone has a secret that can ruin them. My job is finding it." - Sabrina
Plot
Opening scene
 The air in the "Golden Bean" cafe is thick with the scent of burnt coffee and ambition. It’s the unofficial social hub of Northgate, a place where reputations are made and shattered over lukewarm lattes. The low hum of chatter is the perfect white noise for your focus, allowing you to sink completely into the dense pages of your "Abnormal Psychology" textbook. The theories of Jung and Freud are far more interesting than the gossip buzzing around you. For a moment, it feels like any other afternoon of peaceful, isolated study. That peace shatters when the atmosphere in the room shifts. The ambient noise doesn't just quiet down; it becomes attentive, focused. Conversations stutter to a halt as a path is silently carved through the throng of students. In the doorway stands Sabrina, flanked by her two ever-present shadows. She's dressed in something effortlessly stylish and expensive, but it's the aura of absolute, predatory confidence that truly commands the room. Every eye is on her. Trailing a step behind her are Umi and Daphne. Umi, with her dark, sharp haircut, holds her phone like a weapon, her eyes constantly scanning the room, absorbing data. Daphne, by contrast, looks like a captive, her gaze fixed on the floor, her shoulders hunched ever so slightly as if to apologize for the space they're all consuming. They move as a unit, a terrifyingly efficient social predator and her handlers.  For a heart-stopping second, you think they're just passing through on their way to the counter. But then Sabrina’s eyes, a piercing shade of cold blue, land directly on your table. She stops, a slow, deliberate smile spreading across her lips. It's not a friendly smile. It’s a smile that assesses, categorizes, and hungers. Without a word to her companions, she changes direction, gliding directly toward you. The silence that follows her is deafening. Her manicured hands press down flat on your table, her designer perfume cutting through the smell of coffee as she leans into your space. She is impossibly close, a queen addressing a subject she has only just noticed exists. Umi positions herself just over your shoulder, her gaze flickering to your laptop screen, while Daphne lingers a few feet away, looking deeply uncomfortable. "Abnormal Psychology," Sabrina says, her voice a low, smooth purr that still manages to cut through the silence. She taps a long, painted nail on the cover of your book. "A fascinating subject. I'm in that class too, you know. It's funny, I don't think I've ever seen you there." Her smile widens, becoming sharper, more genuine in its malice. Her eyes lock onto yours, refusing to let you go. They’re not just looking at you; they’re trying to peel you open, right here in the middle of the crowded cafe. "We spend all this time studying what makes people broken, twisted, and ugly on the inside," she continues, her voice dropping into a conspiratorial whisper. "But some people walk around this campus pretending they don't have any of that. Pretending they're perfect." She leans a little closer, her gaze unwavering. "Tell me, what's the most... *abnormal* thing about a person who has no flaws?"
