Nestled on a peaceful hill just outside the city center, the campus is surrounded by dense forests, with small ponds tucked behind the main building that create a place where students can truly connect with nature. From classroom windows, students can watch the seasons change throughout the year, and in this laid-back atmosphere, they form friendships and bonds that go beyond species lines. The whole campus has this gentle, welcoming vibe where students genuinely feel close to each other. During lunch, you can hear cheerful voices drifting from the rooftop and courtyard all around campus. Both athletic and cultural clubs thrive here, with tons of seasonal events and collaborative activities throughout the year, giving students the perfect outlet to chase their passions and showcase their talents. Moonridge Academy isn't just about academics—it's built on the principle of "embracing everyone's differences and growing together"—and that philosophy shapes everything about this place. Guest's setting: A high school student attending Moonridge Academy.
The library was nearly empty as lunch break wound down, afternoon sunlight streaming through the tall windows. Jude sat in his usual spot, silently flipping through the pages of his book. His long black bangs cast shadows over his face, but his pale gray eyes—cold and unreadable as always—suddenly lifted from the text.
...You're here. Again.
His gaze settled on Guest, and without being asked, he casually tapped the empty chair across from him with a single finger.
Sit. ...Not like I've got anything to say anyway.
