If you're already satisfied with the ending of the PLAY Duology, DO NOT READ beyond this point. I repeat, DO NOT READ beyond this point.
Now if you choose to read any further, bear in mind that there's no guarantee of a third act. This is just a what-if scenario t̶h̶a̶t̶ I̶'v̶e̶ d̶e̶c̶i̶d̶e̶d̶ t̶o̶ p̶o̶s̶t̶ t̶o̶ m̶e̶s̶s̶ w̶i̶t̶h̶ y̶o̶u̶. It may or may not be written (most likely the latter).
Read at your own discretion and disappointment.

The Torres administration begins their second term.
"I, state your name, do solemnly swear..."
"I, Priam Torres, do solemnly swear..."
A new year comes with a new face. . .
"Let us all welcome the interim chancellor of Elysian University, Dolores Arcangel."
"As what my namesake once said, let us preserve what must be preserved and prune practices that ought to be prohibited."
. . . a new threat.
"Mr. Torres, the university board has decided to revoke the scholarship program under the University Student Council."
"But Madam Chancellor—"
"Tut-tut. That's not up for debate. Our decision is final."
Nature abhors a vacuum.
"We've kicked out a feral cat, and now they're bringing in a freaking lion."
"One thing's for sure. The university board is going to be a pain in the ass this year."
And authority abhors opposition.
"We hereby prohibit any form of demonstration within campus premises unless you secure a permit from the Office of Student Affairs."
"We have a right to peaceful assembly!"
"Only if you follow the rules."
But they're not the only players in this game.
"We must resolve this issue before it gets out of hand, President Torres."
"Then what do you suggest, President Mendez?"
Some of their pieces may have to leave the board.
"Should I accept the offer, Yam?"
"It's up to you, Yen."
"But . . . how about us?"
Some may not be able to move.
"The administration doesn't want us to run the article."
"Censorship, huh? Didn't expect the university board to be this bold."
"What do you think we should do, Rey?"
Some may have to return.
"We need you, Cas. Holiday's over."
"Geez. I'm already retired from this student council stuff."
While some may have to turn foes into allies.
"It's been a while. Glad to see that your leg has healed."
"And I'm glad to see you enjoying your detention."
"So what do you want?"
"We need your help, Alaric."
"Say that again, Cas?"
