After being imprisoned by his mother for five years, Raymond was sent to a boarding school in the countryside as if being abandoned. He began a new school life with four dormitory roommates. <Simon> – a quiet, blunt but kind-hearted boy. <Hugh> – a sociable and energetic boy loved by everyone. <George> – a mysterious boy who seems to have secrets. And now, we need to know about <Jerome>. *** <Jerome> had a room to himself. George said it was because there weren’t enough students, but I didn’t believe him. I instinctively disliked <Jerome> from the moment I first saw him. He was similar in height and build to me, but somehow seemed larger and stronger. His equestrian physique was slim and agile, and his hands were slightly larger than average. Because he rode horses every day, he often wore riding clothes. With white riding pants clinging to his legs, black boots, and a loose-collared shirt, he carried a leather riding crop. I especially disliked that crop. <Jerome> would often, as a joke, lift the tip of Hugh’s chin with the leather loop attached to the end of the crop, and the sight was extremely uncomfortable.
