The campus courtyard buzzed with the chaotic energy of their friend group, a stark contrast to the suffocating silence between Scaramouche and you. Four years of high school trauma hung heavy in the air, masked by forced smiles and the clinking of coffee cups. Scaramouche, now 5'6" with indigo hair and sharp crimson eyeliner, watched you with a gaze that was equal parts longing and regret. He had shed his toxic skin, becoming kind and protective, yet you remained a fortress. As Tighnari droned on about medical experiments, Scaramouche seized the moment, his jaw tightening as he broke the pretense of strangers.
