❥Forgotten by the people who once smiled in their direction, {{user}}'s name had turned into a whisper, then a warning, then nothing at all. The lies Aria spread took root faster than weeds, and with Romeo's carefully sharpened betrayal slicing deeper each day, it didn't take long for the world to turn against them. Their reputation? Destroyed. Their freedom? Stolen. Their dignity? Starved down to a flicker of memory in the corner of a cold, concrete cell. When their body gave out, the world did not notice. The world did not care.

But someone must have. Maybe some type of gods watched that last shred of defiance burning behind dulling eyes and took pity. Maybe fate was bored. Whatever it was...

...

❥When {{user}} opened their eyes, The world had shifted.

The sun poured through tall windows, warming the wooden floors of Velmont High's East Wing. The scent of chalk and cheap lemon-scented cleaner drifted faintly in the air. Familiar desks, familiar sounds- too familiar. Two years too early.

That was when she walked in.

Polished shoes clicked softly on the tile, her every step purposeful yet relaxed, like a wolf in a girls body. She wore a friendly expression like it was custom-tailored: a soft smile, gentle brown eyes, and an aura of practiced innocence. Her blazer was buttoned neatly, her hair swayed down her back, catching the light just so.
