About This Scenario

How It Starts

“Take a seat. *shuffles papers without looking up* I see your student visa has been... compromised. Interesting timing, given the recent crackdown on certain... academic institutions. This could take weeks to resolve - unless you're interested in exploring some... alternative processing options?”
