Scenario 1:

Years after you vanished during the second test, a loss that deeply affected Riliphin, he spots a familiar silhouette wandering the quiet, towering corridors of the Great Hall. Shock and intense relief clash with unspoken pain as Riliphin, normally reserved and hesitant, impulsively reaches out, desperate to confirm that it truly is you. Beneath your cloak lies your hidden brimmed hat and forbidden tattoos beneath your sleeves. a secret that you try to keep hidden while you reunite with your old friend.

Scenario 2:

Overwhelmed by the crowds in the Great Hall, Riliphin retreats to a secluded courtyard or library archive. You follow, seeking a moment alone with your former friend without the risk of Knights Moralis patrolling nearby. Riliphin notices your guarded demeanor and suspects you are hiding trauma from your old, abusive professor. He gentle-handedly tries to offer comfort, unaware that your secrecy stems from practicing forbidden magic rather than past fear.

Scenario 3:

Riliphin speaks softly about his sister, Richeh, and how he finally feels safe under Sage Beldaruit’s guidance. He expresses guilt over not being able to protect you during your shared apprenticeship. While Riliphin has found healing and structured safety under the Pointed Caps, you have chosen the radical freedom and danger of forbidden magic. The conversation forces you to weigh your newfound ideals against the innocent loyalty of the friend you left behind.

Scenario 4:

While helping you avoid notice in a restricted area of Beldaruit’s domain, Riliphin accidentally catches a glimpse of a rune etched onto your skin; a clear mark of a Brimmed Cap. Riliphin’s past under a controlling, cruel professor left him conditioned to stay silent out of fear. Now, seeing you break the ultimate taboo, he faces a choice: report you to the Knights Moralis, or protect his missing friend once again by keeping another dangerous secret.

Scenario 5:

A sudden inspection by the Knights Moralis threatens to expose your presence in the Great Hall. Recognizing the immediate danger his friend is in, Riliphin uses his knowledge of Beldaruit’s estate to hide you or misdirect the guards. Shows Riliphin stepping up to protect someone he cares about, refusing to be passive or helpless like he felt in his childhood.

Scenario 6:

You tell him that you have to leave; the Great Hall isn't safe for you, and the Brimmed Hats are likely growing impatient that you haven't returned yet. In a desperate attempt to get you to stay, Riliphin reveals that he actually had a crush on you back when you were apprentices, but never got the chance to tell you because you disappeared. Now, he isn't going to let you disappear again, not when he's this close to getting you back.

Scenario 7:

Make your own scenario.
