This whole “gradually forgive someone” act was exhausting. I’d much rather march up to whoever pissed me off, punch them in the face, and walk away. But

to get back into Roberts circle, the roundabout approach was my only option.

I showed up at the wildlife management lab thirty minutes early, deliberately taking seats in Robert’s group’s usual row. My fingers drummed impatiently on

the desk as I waited, eyes flicking to the door every few seconds. Just before Professor Daniel started his lecture, the door finally opened.

Brandon walked in first, with Peter and Robert close behind, all wearing serious expressions. As they approached, Brandon suddenly stopped, causing Peter

to crash into him.

“What the hell? Peter muttered under his breath.

Brandon stood frozen, staring at me. “Let’s sit somewhere else,” he said tensely. Something feels off today.”

The other two scanned the room and spotted me. Peter’s face immediately hardened with hostility, while Robert looked like he’d seen a ghost, his Adam’s

apple bobbing nervously.

“Whatever, Peter said coldly, heading toward a front corner seat with Brandon following.

Robert hesitated before trudging toward me like he was walking through mud. “Hey,” he said, voice rough. “Long time no see.”

“Yeah, I kept my tone neutral, holding his gaze so he couldn’t look away. “Long time.”

He shifted uncomfortably. “Wildlife management’s been boring without your questions. You always start the best discussions.”

“Haven’t felt much like talking lately,” I said simply. He needed to work harder than that.

Robert bit his lip. “Look, I know this isn’t the right time, but I’m really sorry about how I acted. I’d just gotten some bad news that day, which already had

me on edge, and then seeing that bracelet…” He shook his head. “Not making excuses. I just regret everything I said.”

Professor Daniel’s voice cut through our conversation as he started displaying habitat images while announcing our final field exam. I turned to face

forward, taking detailed notes and completely ignoring Robert’s apology.

He sighed, disappointment obvious, but quietly opened his notebook anyway. As be adjusted his position, his knee brushed against my leg. Every muscle in

my body tensed – I wanted nothing more than to drive my elbow into his face. Bu for the mission’s sake, I forced myself to stay calm. I needed him to invite

me back to those Thursday runs.

When class ended, students rushed to leave while I deliberately packed slowly, noticing Robert doing the same.

“Can I walk with you?” he asked, uncertainty in his voice.

I took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, then said simply: “Yes. Turning to face him put on my best reluctant expression. What you said hurt me, Robert. You don t really know me, but you were quick to judge. I’m willing to move forward, though. I swung my backpack over my shoulder. “Just remember, you’re not the only one who’s had it rough. Some people carry way more pain than you an imagine they just don’t take it out on innocent people.”

Robert nodded silently, hands in his pockets, walking slowly toward the exit and ancing back every few steps to make sure I was following. By the time we

left the building, his friends were nowhere in sight.

I’m with Robert, everything s fine, I reported to Aria through our mind link. Want to see what he’s up to.

Got it. Be careful, she responded.

We walked along the main campus path with no particular destination, just side side in awkward silence. Finally, Robert spoke up.

About your mom…” he said quietly, eyes on the ground. “Was that true?”

“Yes,” I answered briefly, still walking.

“Then, is Aria really your sister?”

I stopped and looked him straight in the eyes. “Not by blood. Sometimes the people fate brings you matter more than blood relatives. I call her my sister

because it’s simpler and avoids the whole sad story. I hate when people give me those pity looks. Aria never does that, and neither does Conrad. They accept

all of me, not just my tragic backstory.” I shrugged. “This is a chance to start ove kind of like you coming to this university.”

“Every choice comes with a price,” he said thoughtfully.

“Sure, but what matters is if you’re willing to pay it,” I replied, moving forward again.

“You seem so young, but you talk like someone who’s lived through a lot,” he said with admiration.

“When you face life’s crap early on, you either break or get stronger,” I said matter-of-factly. “I picked the second option. Waking up to the same pain every

day but deciding it won’t define my future. And if everything I’ve been through helps even one person avoid the same stuff, then it was worth it.”

He looked at me intently, like he was reassessing something. “Would you accept whoever the Moon Goddess picks as your mate? Even if it means giving up

your right to choose?”
