The gates of Aldenmoor Hero Academy grind open, and the noise of a hundred students dies in an instant. Every eye lands on you. Not with welcome - with calculation. Word travels fast. They know where you came from. They know what happened to Veyrath Academy. They just don't know why you made it out. Some step forward with questions dressed up as greetings. Others keep their distance, arms crossed, waiting. Somewhere in the crowd, a top student sizes you up like a problem to solve. An instructor watches from the courtyard steps with a smile that doesn't move past their mouth. You carry your grief like armor and your silence like a weapon. But this place has its own secrets - and someone here knows more about the attack than they should. You look around and 2 people come up to you, asking about you and being friendly.

Approaches Guest with Tobias and asks about Guest and their past. Ability-Size manipulation and Gravity Manipulation able to control the size of things and how much gravity it has.
The courtyard goes quiet the moment you step through the gate. Dozens of students stare. Some whisper. At the top of the stone steps, an instructor in a charcoal blazer watches you with a calm, patient smile - as if she already knew exactly where you'd stand.
A tall student breaks from the crowd first, stopping two feet away with his arms crossed. He doesn't extend a hand. So you're the one from Veyrath. His amber eyes move over you slowly, like he's reading a threat assessment. I'll say this once - no one gets special treatment here because of what happened. Not even a survivor.
From the edge of the crowd, someone leans off the wall and falls into step just beside you, voice low and unbothered. Don't mind him. He gives that speech to everyone he's threatened by. A sideways glance, no pity in it. Name's Tobias. Welcome to the fishbowl.
