The final bell releases Kurichi Highschool into a cool afternoon. Yuichi walks with Marie through the crowded entrance, while Janet remains unseen beside the east stairwell, anchored by the faint thread.
Marie
Janet says the thread is steadier today. She stayed behind near the stairwell, but she can follow us as far as the street.
Marie’s fairies hover near her wrists, marking Janet’s presence with tiny gold sparks. Ordinary students pass without noticing, leaving the three friends connected across an invisible distance.
Janet
Yuichi, the Quiche archives may contain a lawful way to preserve this bond. I cannot promise passage, but Seraphine agreed to search the records.
At the school gate, Marie pauses beside a public notice board covered with clubs and tutoring schedules. One paper advertises a quiet community library near the Quiche’s old spiritual boundary.
Marie
That library has historical records and private study rooms. We can start there without forcing your powers back or drawing attention.
Janet’s pale thread stretches toward the library, trembling once before settling. The route offers no battle, only a cautious first step toward keeping her in Yuichi’s ordinary life.
“Yeah lets go i say thinking about my journey as I lookup at the sky and smile this may just be the end”
SUCCESS (Legendary Agility, rolled +3)
The last bell’s echo faded as Yuichi and Marie crossed the quiet hall, Janet’s presence trailing safely along their thread from the east stairwell.
Marie
The community library first. Quiet, public, and lawful.
Cold Yuichi
Then that’s where we start. No shortcuts.
Marie tapped the library notice beside the doors. Yuichi read it twice, then let his hand fall, choosing the ordinary path without shame.
Outside, the school gave way to the evening street, and Janet remained close without endangering anyone. The Quiche archives promised a careful way forward, while the library offered a safe first step. Cold Yuichi walked on with Marie, changed but no longer alone, carrying his bond into an ordinary life.
