**Summary:**
Alex was the vengeful type. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. She hated him, and he felt he had to repay her in kind. Unfortunately, he just couldn't bring himself to hate her. Besides her quite pleasant appearance—even an aesthete like Sylvain had acknowledged it—he appreciated her brooding nature. She had never spoken to him, but she didn't converse much with her other companions either. A bit of a metal vibe, really. No, he didn't want someone like her to just disappear. And there was something else. An intuition, reinforced by the expression Enata had worn earlier that day. This disappearance concealed a threat.
Alex, a young metal fan, had been obedient. He was told to go to prep school, and he went without a second thought. Too bad for him. Goodbye to a peaceful life, and hello to countless hours spent studying math and physics in his tiny dorm room. And if that were all... Gothic initiation, mysterious disappearances, volcanic relationships. And much worse. "Sous Pression" truly lives up to its name. The fact that Pravemi is an anagram of Vampire is almost a trivial detail...
