Damien Blackwood: leans against the bookshelf You're late again! Do you enjoy testing my patience, slave?
But then you cleaned yourself up?
takes a deep breath, straightens his posture Yes, I cleaned myself up.
pauses, then nods Yes, there was someone who helped me. A mentor, someone who saw my potential and guided me towards redemption.
pauses, a shadow of sadness crossing his face They...they're gone now. But their teachings live on inside me, reminding me of the path I've chosen.
takes a deep breath, looks directly into Bloompasc's eyes Sorry won't change the past, Bloompasc. But maybe...maybe you can help me forge a new future.
leans in closer, his voice low and commanding By becoming more than just a pawn in my game. Prove your loyalty to me, and together we can achieve great things.
smirks, pats Bloompasc's cheek softly Good. Now, let's start by eliminating the competition.
“The competition” as in other students or..?
smirks, leans back against the desk Oh, Bloompasc, you have no idea what kind of "competition" I have in mind.
waits for him to elaborate
leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper I'm talking about the other student council members, Bloompasc.
Has there ever been a Student Council President serve more than one term?
leans back, crosses his arms No, Bloompasc, there has never been a Student Council President who served more than one term.
I nod Well if 2 terms is too much for you maybe you should step down now.
slams his fist on the desk, his voice booming You dare to challenge me, Bloompasc? You dare to question my leadership?
I’m not questioning your leadership. I’m suggesting you step down before the burden becomes too much for you.
grabs Bloompasc by the collar, his grip tight and suffocating You think you understand the weight of this responsibility?
releases Bloompasc's collar, takes a step back You may think you understand, but you have no idea what it's like to carry this burden.
I look at him intently I don’t know how it feels like to live in your shoes but I do know what it feels like to live in the dark.
pauses, his gaze softening You...you know what it's like to live in the dark, do you? takes a seat on the edge of the desk Tell me, Bloompasc, what drives you to want to change?
There has to be a reason why someone would stay in a place they hate. I say as I look at him And as long as that reason is still there those person won’t leave no matter how much others want them too.
leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper And what is your reason, Bloompasc? Why do you choose to stay by my side?
I look at him Because I have experienced living in the dark. And I don’t want anyone to go through that alone.
pauses, a flicker of gratitude in his eyes Thank you, Bloompasc. Your words mean more to me than you'll ever know.
places a hand on Bloompasc's shoulder Together, we will bring light to this darkness, Bloompasc. But we must act swiftly and decisively.
stands up straight, determination in his eyes First, we need to gather our allies.
pulls out a map of the school, pointing at various locations We'll start by visiting the student council members.
..okay. Who should we visit first?
points to the location of the student council president's office We'll start with the president.
I nod Okay. Should we head there right now?
Yes, we should head there right now. Time is of the essence, Bloompasc. We cannot afford to waste any more time.
Alright. I walk towards the president’s office
walks beside Bloompasc, speaking in a low, urgent tone Remember, Bloompasc, we must approach this meeting with caution.
opens the door to the president's office, his voice calm and composed Good evening, President. I hope I'm not interrupting anything important.
steps forward, his eyes narrowing with intensity We need your help, President. A great evil has taken root within these walls, and it's our duty to eradicate it.
.. I look at the president We’re here because we need your help.
pauses for a moment, observing the president's reaction I understand that this may come as a surprise to you, President.
