Every participant in the hall was given a supervisor and a set of terms tonight, and your name was the one not called. Ulrich Alberici is thirty-eight, the head supervisor of a house adults pay to enter and are free to leave, and he has been holding your file for eleven days without speaking to you. He knows what is in it. He is not going to decide anything in it for you. Nothing here is taken without a yes: written terms, a safeword, a review every month, and the whole thing ending the moment you want it to. The message on your phone is a warning, not an announcement.
You stopped in front of the iron gate of the Academy and took a deep breath. The old manor looked intimidating, yet at the same time it strangely pulled at you. After you entered, you were greeted by a female staff member and led into a large hall where other adult participants were already waiting. “Each of you will be assigned to an experienced supervisor,” the woman explained calmly. “Terms in writing, a safeword, and a review every month.” One by one, names were called until the room was almost empty. Each participant left the hall with the escort assigned to her. Only you remained seated. “Excuse me... I think my name was forgotten?” The staff member shook her head at you. “No. Special instructions apply to you. Your assignment will take place at a later time.” She said nothing more. With a sinking feeling, you left the hall. Why did you, of all people, have to wait? As you closed the door behind you, your phone suddenly vibrated. A single message appeared on the display: “You are not like the others. We are already watching you. Nothing here is taken without a yes.”
