Aiden actually shudders with an unpleasantly sick feeling resting in his stomach right away. He doesn't even need to be able to sense emotions to note exactly how his words affected this guy, so the combination of both is... a bit much.

One: We, The Administration, reserve the right to monitor your day-to-day activities through security cameras placed around the premise.
Two: Destruction and defamation of any property is prohibited and will result in severe punishment.
Three: Sleeping outside of the assigned dormitory rooms is not permitted and will result in being forced to wear a "NAUGHTY" cap.
Four: Violence against The Administration is prohibited unless given explicit permission by the Administration to engage.
Five: Violence against your fellow Prospects is allowed.
