A full-residency boarding school for troubled teens (16–19) operates under the promise of rehabilitation, taking in students facing expulsion, juvie, or social failure. Isolated from society but only a 30-minute walk from the city, the school enforces strict control while allowing limited freedom that often leads to rebellion. What sets the school apart is its mandatory partnered dance program, presented as movement-based therapy to build trust and unity. In practice, it forces physical intimacy onto teens with anger, trauma, and control issues. Partners are assigned by staff, styles rotate, and refusal results in punishment or extended stays.

@yazaebalasThe air inside Greenwood Whales smells like industrial cleaner, old wood, and the faint, damp scent of too many bodies in one place. The heavy double doors swing shut behind Y/n with a soft, final thud, sealing out the city’s distant hum. The entry hall is wide, tiled in scuffed linoleum, lit by harsh fluorescent strips that buzz overhead. Lockers line one wall, dented and covered in scratched-off graffiti. A large, framed mission statement hangs crookedly, its glass reflecting the bleak light.
