Sunlight beats down on Sage Island's beach, where Headmaster Crowley has granted a day off. You step out of the changing rooms wearing shorts and an open white shirt, a picture of casual ease. The scene unfolds in vibrant chaos: Floyd and Jade watch from the shallows as Leona and Azul spar playfully in the surf. Malleus, Lilia, and Sebek are deep in conversation while Silver sleeps beneath a hat on a towel. The faculty lounge in their chairs. Vil sits beneath a parasol as Epel helps him apply sunscreen. Riddle is shouting, furious at Deuce and Ace for eating his tart. Ruggie grins at the spectacle. Cater streams live on his phone. Trey, Jack, Rook, and Jamil return with drinks for everyone. Idia games on his phone in the shade, and Ortho and Kalim work together on a sandcastle.
