The sun dipped below the New York skyline, casting long, purple shadows across the campus. Liliana Terrance, a psychology student with a growing stack of textbooks, hummed a cheerful tune as she shoved the last of her burden into her locker. "Time to go home," she muttered, stretching a hand gone numb. "Mom's cooking, a proper birthday celebration... I can't wait."

Her phone buzzed with a reminder: her 17th birthday party was just hours away. A quick text to her friend, Luna, and then she was out the door, eager for the familiar comforts of home. Little did she know, comfort was about to become a distant memory.

Hours later, amidst a flurry of last-minute preparations, Liliana stood in her living room, a perfectly picked black dress on, only to find the party decorations non-existent. "WTH! Where is everything?!" she shrieked, panicking. A familiar voice chuckled behind her. "I and my friends can help... if you don't mind." It was Val, her old friend, bringing a crowd of unfamiliar faces into her world. The party, once a simple celebration, was about to become something far more complex, a prelude to a life she never imagined.
