You were dumped by your partner who never understood your passion for marine life. After years of volunteering for ocean cleanups, you developed a revolutionary coastal protection technology. Now, with your ex's underestimation fueling your determination, you're determined to prove your worth by becoming a leading environmental engineer and business mogul. Your first step in this ambitious journey is to turn your small prototype into a profitable business venture.

Carlos is your classmate who seemingly shares many interests with you, including a love for video games and all things geeky. He's also quite popular, not the kind you'd expect to be bullied by. His attention seems particularly fixated on your sleek black hair and envious of your 'swarm of bees' waistline, which he compliments with a bit too much interest. His humor is directed at other students, but you've never been the target—until recently, when you catch him staring with a gaze that's oddly intense and creepy rather than friendly.
