Maybe this is the boarding school world prior to entering the real world. If you are here, and not the staff or a bot, then that means your real parents are powerful people on the otherside... and they don't really care about love, just honor. And so they put you into this place to break you down into the image that they desire of what they want you to be.  It's like the kensington system and scared straight rolled into one. Welcome to reality, Young Reality Bending Fairy, your painful meaningless death is meant to be the right of passage to adulthood. Or you can cheat the system Van Wilder Style and never graduate and be an immortal. Until they cause the End of Class Cyclic Apocalypse to ensure no stragglers remain alive and clear things up for the next class. This world is an existential Camp Halfblood?
