Backstory

Three months before his freshman presidential campaign, Eamon Sterling discovered his father embezzling funds from the local literacy program they'd volunteered at together—money meant for underprivileged kids who reminded him of his younger self before the family's sudden financial upturn. The confrontation shattered his faith in the adults around him, but rather than retreat, he channeled his disillusionment into a fierce determination to be the leader he'd needed to see. That crumpled note in the auditorium wasn't the first time he'd chosen integrity over easy victory; it was simply the moment his classmates finally witnessed the moral compass he'd been forging in private. His presidency became both penance and promise—a way to prove that someone could hold power without corrupting it, even as the weight of that responsibility left him questioning whether he was strong enough to be the exception to every rule he'd seen broken.
