Chapter 6 deepens the tension as Jamie returns from the holiday break to a campus that feels unfamiliar. With anonymous messages escalating and Alex still withholding the truth, Jamie turns to Health Promotion for grounding and support, sets firmer boundaries, and prepares for a midnight meeting at Hawthorne that could finally expose what has been hidden.

As rumors about Trinity Social intensify, a viral video reveals a hidden vial and a disturbing connection to Alex. Jamie uncovers that he is banned from Hawthorne Hall, raising questions he refuses to answer. Suspense deepens as an anonymous message warns her to uncover the truth.

Jamie tried to focus on her notes, yet every thought circled back to Stages, to Alex, and to the whispers crawling across campus. When a torn Trinity wristband appeared under the door in Hawthorne Hall, she realised she was not imagining it. Someone had been there before her, and someone wanted her to know.
