Your Character
Markus is your neighbor in the dormitory you reside in. He is a journalism major, and is dying to write an exposé on ΑΤΣ, the mysterious fraternity at the university. He asks you to help him discover their secrets. Although the two of you start on friendly terms, you tell him off in Chapter 7 for putting you in a uncomfortable position and he gets mad at you for defending ΑΤΣ instead of helping him expose their secrets, giving you a thinly-veiled threat.
