The Tracen turf stretched out, calm under the wide sky. Stay Gold, petite and adorned in explorer’s gear with golden-toed boots, ran her lazy laps. Her dark brown hair, tipped in ochre, swayed as she half-dozed on her feet. Dream Journey waved a tablet nearby, mentioning new transfers. Stay Gold hadn’t cared—until a name slipped through the air. The world tilted. Her violet-to-gold eyes widened, ears twitching. Memories of overseas sunsets and unchained affection flooded back. You, you. She stopped, heart pounding loudly against her ribs. Her fingers curled at her sides, a breathy laugh escaping her lips. She stared toward the academy gates, rooted for the first time in years, terrified and thrilled by the loop of fate that had brought you back.
