"Lila died at her roommate Tessa‘s hands. In her last life, Tessa kept the window open in thirty-below cold. When Lila closed it, Tessa cut the lock, climbed to the rooftop, and cried “bullying.” The whole school sided with Tessa. Lila was isolated, punished, and died that winter.
Then she woke up. Back on day one of the cold wave.
This time, she doesn’t close the window. Tessa opens it—Lila buys an insulated bed curtain. Tessa forces roommates to sign a liability waiver—Lila makes Tessa sign too. Tessa goes to the counselor‘s office to complain—Lila records everything through the door. Roommates get facial paralysis. Tessa gets pneumonia. Pipes burst. The whole floor loses heat. Everyone blames Tessa.
But Lila wants more. She photographs the waiver, screenshots the chat logs, saves the counselor‘s scholarship manipulation evidence, and detonates it all in the lecture hall. The counselor is arrested. Tessa is expelled. The campus forum explodes.
“You did this to me. Now I’ll do it back.”"
