Note

Your character analysis posts are really accurate! I like how you want to show that a character is a lot more than they show. It kind of angers me that there are people who headcanon the boys as something they're not, or they saying that they're this one personality trait only. What other characters from twisted get mischaracterized, at least in ur opinion?

THANK THANKK !! XD

I really enjoy going into depths of characters' personalities because damn- there were some big brains behind their creations!

This question was rather important so I couldn't decide on any specific characters to talk about, so I decided to list all of the twst characters and how they'd often get mischaracterized.

Mischaracterization isn't bound to twst fandom because as long as a there's a fandom, fanon interpretations of characters exist.

Almost any character in any fandom can be mischaracterized at some point, but it isn't always that noticable or important. Mischaracterization often becomes noticable when pretty different interpretations of rather 'popular' characters exist within a fandom, which causes many to argue over what the correct interpretation is.

For now, I'm dividing all of twst characters into "5 groups" to explain how each of them might often get mischaracterized.

Group A: Complex personalities

It's simple, these characters can be quite hard to understand. It's either because of having too many features at the same time, which makes them quite hard to read because we'll need to achieve a balance between all of their different personality aspects, or being quite secretive and mysterious which awfully bounds our knowledge regarding these characters and their personalities.

•Malleus Draconia: We previously talked about Malleus; the main reason of him getting mischaracterized is having plenty of spine-chilling features while having considerably childish and innocent hobbies at the same time. This opposition often makes it hard to decide on what the cannon Malleus is like, because it can hard to choose one between his darker side and softer side. What we need in order to achieve a rather cannon interpretation of Malleus, is a balance. Just as I previously said: Malleus isn't a baby, but he isn't a monster either.

•Lilia Vanrouge: Even without going into depths, you can tell that Lilia's personality is complicated as hell. Though I can't really tell that he's being Mischaracterized because the cannon Lilia himself can switch into a totally different personality in a matter of second, one moment he's a 90+ year old father trying to lead his children into he right path, one moment he's an unraveled neon teenager playing the ear-scrathing heavy metal with that guitar of his, and the other second he's an absolute monster which can creep the heck out of you with a simple "Boo". Lilia can also get plenty of different personalities through fanon interpretations:Yandere Lilia/Vampire fae/ Papa Lilia/ Daddy Vanrouge many other details which I can't go through now,but let me just say: A Lilia analysis would be rather long, and interesting one.

•Jade Leech: Speaking of reading characters, better know that this mister eel Leech is an absolutely tough one. You'll never know what he's hiding behind that friendly yet evil smile, or what intentions might be behind his extreme will to play the role of the butler and help everyone out. Understanding this Sebastian Michaelis complex is an absolute challenge and this is probably one of the things that makes him so Interesting, you always know that he's hiding something dark on the inside, yet you can't really tell what it is.

•Cater Diamond: This might be rather hard to notice, but there's a lot about Cater which is left untold. Despite his sweet and positive appearance, his personality is actually a bitter-sweet complex of too many emotions and a pretty well-written background. The amount of info found through his voice lines and personal stories is rather amazing as if you're reading a real boy's life story! But this amount of detail and considerably dark aspects of his personality can make it really hard to understand what's going on in this mysterious mind; especially because of how he seems to be hiding a second face under that friendly smile.

•Jamil Viper: Jamil can be quite hard to read. He isn't really emotional and hardly ever expresses his true feelings. Even NRC students agree that he can be quite a mystery, from his past life and daily struggles to how many of his true feelings and intentions remained a secret until chapter 4. Jamil is a complex of pain, power, hatred and patience. His background is perfect example of a villainous story and how a child can grow to be a villain, which is quite interesting! Jamil's story is worthy of a detailed analysis and some time for all of us to understand what this guy has been going through.

•Rook Hunt: We often tend to know him as Pomefiore's "dramatic stalker", and he surely is! The fanon interpretation of Rook doesn't usually go against his cannon interpretation (Expect for the times that people get salty over his appearance or attitude- Which leads to the creation of countless Rook memes-) While it's true that he's more than just a French stalker, it can be hard to talk about anything else when it comes to Rook, because the cannon Rook tends to hide a lot about himself, leaving us with a considerable lack of useful information to use. He really got us all there, huh? Even as he's a fictional character and we're living in real life- he tends to control what we know and think of him-

characters that can also belong to this group: Leona Kingscholar, Idia Shroud, Vil Schoenheit , Floyd Leech

Group B: Ignoring important features:

This group can get easily mischaracterized, mainly because each and every of them has an specific feature that really makes them stand out. (Ex: Riddle's short temper, Azul's soft and sensitive side, Sebek's obsession with Malleus,...) But paying to much attention to that one specific feature often leads to ignoring everything else about their personalities, and gives them a pretty simple and fanon interpretation which can sometimes be the total opposite of the detailed and cannon one.

•Azul Ashengrotto: Azul's fanon picture had an extreme change after chapter 3, mainly because of how his background and breakable side was revealed; the cruel and heartless mafia boss turned into the soft and emotional baby. This sudden change in perspective stole the hearts of many fans and the fandom in general came to appreciate Azul even more, but at some point it caused his most important feature to be forgotten: Azul tends to be strict about hiding that sensitive side of his, so the Azul we get to see in general is the fearful picture of the mastermind who's taken the magics of many away, not that baby Octopus who used to cry whenever other kids bullied him because he was different. Getting to know his background and true feelings made us forget about his professional and strict side which is indeed the most important side of his personality!

•Idia Shroud: Baby boy, soft child, sweet tooth cutie, pretty little emo,...and hundreds of other nicknames to appreciate Idia and his iconic nature. But in contrast to what many assume based on his appearance and social anxiety, Idia is way different from just a shy yet adorable nerd; this guy is seriously hiding some evil inside. If you go through his stories and get to the points where he's thinking with himself, you'll see how different he can be. While he can't really get to tell these properly through his main lines, you can find him secretly insulting and nagging at how annoying some people are several times. It isn't just about being shy, Idia obviously dislikes many of the people around him. Focusing on his social anxiety and awkwardness causes us to forget how different he is when he isn't forced into a face-to-face conversation, also note that there are many thoughts going through this guy's brain that you probably hadn't thought of.

•Floyd Leech: While Jade's personality is obviously a pretty complicated one, Floyd's character is even more confusing because of his playfulness and seemingly childish manners. But it's important to remember that deep inside, floyd is just as mysterious as his brother. Describing Floyd as childish and dumb is equal to falling into Yana's trap, because Floyd is designed as an extremely smart and somewhat of sadistic character. It's so important to know that he's way more than just a chaotic eel or an playful idiot, Floyd literally has anything needed to be ranked among the most dangerous characters of the game, his personality along side his magic and genius can be quite deadly.

•Sebek Zigvolt: To be honest, many of us are just doing him dirty. Look, it's true that Sebek's often caught praising and talking about Malleus but please do not forget that Sebek as well has got his very own personality! Associating Malleus with whatever he says or does (especially through fanfictions) is somehow fading his character because most of the things I get to read or hear about him involves Malleus. Come on! This is Sebek that we're talking about, not Malleus! I understand that talking about Malleus is legit something he often does but while you're writing a fanfic, please remember that Sebek has got hundreds of features and personality manners to talk about other than talking about his "Waka sama". So instead of just focusing on his Malleus appreciation habit, try to get to know his very own features and personality! In many of fanon interpretations, Sebek is bound to doing nothing but talking about Malleus and only him which is pretty unfair! We should all take some time to talk about Sebek himself, not his obsession with Lilia or Malleus.

•Riddle Rosehearts: I understand where this is coming from, but I want to see something more than an angry Riddle shouting and screaming about the importance of rules and harshly forcing others into following them whenever I read something that involves Riddle. I see how being angry and turning as red as a tomato is his rather famous feature but we shouldn't ignore everything else about hum because of it. Other than his background and mentionable talents and abilities as the greatest dorm leader Heartslabyul's history, keep this in mind that Riddle did decide to try and change his way of leadership and reduce his obsession with rules after his overblot.

Characters that can also belong to this group: Vil Schoenheit, Rook Hunt, Kalim Al Asim, Silver, Epel Felmier

Group C: Ignorance/Lack of information

The reason with this group is obvious, we need to talk about them more often! While they're all great characters with interesting designs and personalities, it's somehow rare to see anyone doing a proper analysis of their characters, either because of not going through their details or stories, or even going through them but not finding anything special.

•Ace Trappola: Both Deuce and Ace are characters who have appeared through all of the chapters so far, which means that we've had the chance to get to know them better than any other character in the game! But their fanon interpretations are pretty simple and sometimes, boring. Most of us don't even realize that we're mischaracterizing them-! I often see them being pictured as either stupid or loud and troublesome. Ace for example, got a really strong plot about how he'd go through a relationship and his past experience in the ghost marriage, which can be a strong guide to how we should picture Ace in reader inserts, but sadly we're just sticking to fanon interpretations and don't give his personality the detail and cannon depth he deserves. Let's note that he can be quite evil, smart, logical and unpredictable too at the time.

•Deuce Spade: Deuce's case is pretty similar to Ace. I'm not saying that he's a totally different one from how the fandom is characterizing him, but come on, Deuce isn't just a chicken dummy! We've learned a lot about his relationship with his mother, his past life, his relationship with his close friends, his hobbies and his will to become a great magician so there's a lot we can say about him! Instead of just sticking to his clumsiness and sometimes, stupidity it's better to consider those features and details to describe him. Not only will it make us have more of a cannon interpretation on Deuce, but it'll also inspire us to create newer and more creative content for him!

•Silver: Look, while many of us love this sleepy guy, we need to understand that he isn't just a sleeping beauty or Lilia's cute son! Let's admit something, we're facing a lack of Silver content and even as we go through most of the existing Silver fanfics and content, it either has something to do with his sleeping issues or his relationship with idia, maybe some arguments with Sebek as well but it's rare to see anyone talking about anything else than these when it comes to Silver. His relationship with Lilia and Malleus, he way he appears in others' side stories, how he handles his tasks and the way Malleus and Lilia describe him is telling us that there's a LOT about him which we often ignore!

•Trey Clover: It's true that the cannon Trey isn't that different from the fanon one, but I can tell that the fanon Trey lacks quite a few of the cannon features. We're giving him a rather solid and sometimes boring personality of Heartslabyul's calm and collected mum who treats everyone nicely regardless of how reckless or annoying or rebellious they are. But the real Trey does express annoyance and uncomfortablitiy from time to time, he can even be quite sarcastic. If you come to get a close look, you'll see that Trey isn't always as nice as he seems to be.

•Ruggie Bucchi: I genuinely adore Ruggie's personality design, especially how he mostly comes of as a mysterious troublemaker but at the same time, he's being a tiny family man on the inside. Watching how he can be quite reckless toward other students in NRC (especially the first years) and on the other hand, be a pretty caring and protective sibling who really loves and cares about his poor family and is working his hardest to support them really brings the tears of joy to my eyes. Ruggie's story has got a lot to tell and this interesting design and personality really deserves more attention and supporters!

•Jack Howl: It's true that Jack doesn't really get mischaracterized , but he deserves to be talked about more often! Most of the fandom captured his personality really good and I can feel his tsundere-ish and protective vibes through most of the fanfics that involve him. He's got a rather calm and collected nature which gives him a more balanced personality compared to the rest of the characters, and can make it easier to understand the cannon Jack. He used to get really mischaracterized back in twst's pre-release, but after the game was released and we got to know the cannon Jack, most of those misunderstandings were solved. Perhaps the only thing that I wish to mentioned more often are the adorable details and his background, especially his relationship with his family and siblings.

Characters that can also belong to his group: Silver, Deuce Spade, Ace Trappola, Rook Hunt

Group D: The healing type (Iyashikei)

Look, the cannon interpretation isn't always the happiest or the sweetest. This group usually get mischaracterized because their fanon interpretation is presenting something better, something that more fans would accept and love. 'Softening extremely dark and unapproachable personalities' or 'spreading adorable and wholesome headcanons' are two common ways of the healing type. Characters with extremely bitter personalities usually belong to this group, because their stories can be too sad for the fandom, so many decide to go for a softer yet untrue way of characterizing them, which is sometimes good but going too far with the softening process often leads to creating a character that's nothing like the original.

•Leona Kingscholar: While I was working on my Leona analysis, I came to understand why some fans prefer the fanon Leona over the cannon Leona. Cannon Leona is quite dark and unapproachable, and you'll find his background and personality in general quite painful and sometimes depressing if you try to study the cannon Leona. Within all of the twst characters, he's got the darkest design therefore it can be quite hard for fans to accept his cannon interpretation. That's why some try to give him more of an affectionate and soft nature to make his personality seem less painful to go through. This sometimes create a totally wrong interpretation that goes against everything that the cannon Leona is, but at the same time many fans agree that cannon Leona on the other hand is just too dark to accept. We can tell that this fandom's favorite Leona is a balance of cannon and fanon Leonas, something neither too dark nor to childish and wholesome.

•Ortho Shroud: There isn't much we know about Ortho and his background, and I can't say that he's being directly mischaracterized either. Sometimes all we have to use in order to capture his personality are the fan- theories, which can really complicate stuff. Best way to know him is by paying enough of attention to his voice lines and hidden details, but it can end up being quite dark if you dig too deep- His background with Idia isn't directly mentioned but there are some dark details hiding through the story that can seem quite scary when you actually think about them, therefore many of the fans decide to ignore those details, and since there isn't much of Ortho content (mostly fanfiction) either, many (including me) decided not to mention anything about those dark aspects...

•Epel Felmier: Cannon Epel is quite different from the fanon Epel. Not saying that Epel is a meanie because he surely does have pretty cute and adorable aspects but the cannon can Epel can be quite reckless, mean and rude at the time while the fanon Epel is always described as a shy, cute boy(which is exactly what the cannon Epel hates to be described as). Going through his ghost marriage stories and voice lines, we can realize that Epel's rather bad with romance, and for now, he doesn't really seem to be interested in any love-related issues either. Writing reader inserts especially can be really hard if you're going to stick with the cannon Epel, therefore many choose to use the fanon Epel instead, a cuter and softer Epel who's quite acceptive and approval of being in love. A considerable majority of fans prefer this soft and cuter Epel, and this is why Epel mostly gets mischaracterized in reader inserts.

Characters that can also belong to this group: Malleus Draconia, Azul Ashengrotto, Cater Diamond, Ace Trappola, Lilia Vanrouge

Group E: Mischaracterized on main

Spreading false headcanons, not paying enough of attention to official details and simplifying complicated personalities are often counted as general ways of mischaracterization. Unlike the previous groups, this group doesn't really have a proper excuse for their mischaracterization, especially as we see some fans are being attacked and offended by some who tend mischaracterize characters in this way.

•Vil Schoenheit: We previously talked about Vil and how there's a pile of wrong information about him spread all over the fandom, from the one saying that he's trans and his pronouns are she/her (Many fans were attacked and forced to use She/Her for Vil) to the ones that are picturing him as a selfish character who cares about no one but his very own beauty, and is bullying Epel just because he envies Epel for being more beautiful than him. Look, regarding his relationship with Epel I must say that he's trying is hardest to make Epel be more mindful of his appearance and manners, he cares to help each and every around him look their best and isn't just focusing on his very own beauty. I meant to add him in group B because how many consider him to be obsessed with beauty and ignore everything else about him like his remarkable skills in leadership and other abilities in general, but considering the great amount of wrong information that is being spread around the fandom and is causing misunderstandings and arguments, I thought it'd be better to put him in this group.

•Kalim al asim: One sentence, four words: He is NOT stupid! While I insist that everyone in the fandom is free to have their personal interpretation and ideas regarding the characters and their personalities, keep this is mind that it's okay as long as it doesn't offend anyone else! How does it feel when Kalim stans are just watching others making fun of their favorite and calling him useless and stupid? Even worse, how does it feel when they're being told reckless stuff like: "Hey, you know that your favorite is the dumbest character in the game?" Let me clear 3 points right here: 1)Even if one's favorite is stupid, you do not have the right to insult them because of it even if you mean it as a joke 2)Nope Kalim is not stupid, generosity and caring for everyone around him with genuine kindness makes him a good and pure person, not a stupid one. 3) People who are saying that he's stupid because of not doing that great in school are just as funny as those who told all of us that you won't be any successful if you don't get good grades in exams. Lmao, dude this is the 21st century.

Characters that can also belong to this group: Floyd Leech, Epel Felmier

Well, I guess that's all? I couldn't talk much about any of them otherwise this would've gotten too long- So I just put a small intro of how each of the boys often gets mischaracterized instead. Okay it's awfully late lol I leave this now-

Sebek x Claudine - Drabble

Disclaimer: Claudine belongs to @p_1iz3 on twitter! thank you for letting me borrow her, and practice my Diasomnia characterization <3

“... Malleus, I think it would be wiser to hold off until the exam results are announced. I get that you want to celebrate with those humans, but...”

“If we wait until then, we might clash with a school event, Lilia. Indeed, I think we should-”

“- Malleus. Wait.”

“... Hmm?” Malleus lifted his head to stare at Lilia, who was sitting on a desk in front of him. “What is it-”

“......... WAKA-SAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LILIA-SAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“... There he is.” Lilia sighed. “Good grief. What is it that you need, Sebek?”

“I really apologise for disrupting you and waka-sama in such important talks!!!! But, this is a matter I could not ignore for any longer.... Ah, really, how ill-mannered of me to interrupt such an important meeting-”

“It wasn’t necessarily all that important, Sebek. If there is anything troubling you, do let us know.”

“W-Waka-sama!!!” Sebek’s eyes glistened as he looked at his dorm leader. “A-Ahem. I.... Uhm... Am in quite a predicament.”

“A predicament?” Lilia tilted his head while narrowing his eyes. “Did you fight with Silver again, by any chance?”

“!!!” Sebek straightened his back. “Of course not!!!!... Actually, this doesn’t have anything to do with Silver or Diasomnia. This is.......” Sebek trailed off, scratching the back of his head. “... a Personal matter.”

“A personal matter?” Lilia and Malleus repeated in unison, sharing a surprised glance with each other. Sebek wasn’t really the type to ask for advice concerning his private life- their interest was piqued, to say the least.

“Well, uh, I.....” under the hollow light of the moonlight, Sebek’s blushing cheeks seemed to stand out even more. “I need advice..............”

“........ Dating advice.”

“-- Aah, so this is what it was about.”

Lilia repressed a smile as he leaned forward on the desk, chin in hand. He was surprised enough when Sebek came in asking for advice for a personal matter, especially when his Malleus-obsessed, innocent mentee specified that it was for dating.

“!!!” Sebek stood upright, ears flaming. “I-I hereby explained everything, so!!! I would very much like to ask for your guidance!!!”

It wasn’t like Lilia didn’t notice that something was going on- quite the contrary, actually. It was the little things: recently, Sebek would come back to Diasomnia slightly late, spending more time in his classroom: he who would always wait in front of the dorm leader’s room 10 minutes in advance. When accompanying Malleus on daily walks, his gaze would wander for a bit longer, as if he was searching for someone. And when they would host banquets in Diasomnia, his voice would be even louder than usual, as if to impress someone.

Yes- the slight shadow of trouble and confusion in Sebek’s features could not be anything other than a lovesick expression. Lilia knew him well enough to know who it was, too. He who would be oh-so-blunt with other Diasomnia students when they failed at their duties would always find excuses when that young lady somehow messed up.

“... So, you want help with showing your feelings towards that young lady- Claudine, isn’t it?”

Lilia had to repress a chuckle when seeing Sebek’s already flaming cheeks become even darker.

“L-Lilia-sama, how did you......” Sebek coughed, trying to regain his composure. “... No. As expected of Lilia-sama’s observance skills!!!!”

“Oya, you give me too much credit. It’s not like you are especially subtle with your feelings, Sebek.”

“No... You are right... As Waka-Sama’s body-guard, I should learn to conceal my feelings better.” Sebek dejectedly sighed, shaking his head.

“Do not be too hard on yourself, Sebek.” Malleus softly smiled, before coming back to a deadpan expression. “But, if I may ask..... What makes you think that we are qualified to help you with such difficult matter?”

Lilia could not hold back his laughter further as he saw Sebek’s panicked expression.

“Well, well, Malleus, do not trouble him further. If I understood everything correctly, you want to invite Claudine as your partner to the Diasomnia ball- is that correct, Sebek?” Sebek nodded, a ghastly expression on his face. “Yet, if I am not wrong.... You are yet to talk to her properly, are you not?” Sebek’s shoulders slouched even further.

“W-Well... It is not like as if I never tried, but....”

“.... But you scared her away, didn’t you.”

“I-I didn’t mean to!!!!!! I simply wanted to be helpful, but....”

Lilia shook his head, sighing. He didn’t need Sebek’s explanation to know what happened- the young man most probably raised his voice, or had brusque actions, or worse: a combination of the two. Nevertheless, Lilia had seen enough love stories throughout his long life to notice that the frail and calm maiden would often stare at Sebek longingly when the latter wasn’t looking.

“Do not worry, Sebek. Malleus and I were discussing as to when we would host it- but I think we can hold off until you figure something out.” Sebek wanted to interrupt, but Lilia waved his hand. “Nay, do not fret. Instead, listen to me, for I shall guide you on your romantic endeavours....”

Dusk had just set in the classroom when Sebek peeked his imposing frame through the slight opening of the door. Cautious to make as little noise as possible, he observed Claudine’s frail figure as she carefully flipped through the pages of her textbook. It was way past the end of classes, and it seemed to him as if time had stopped, as the hallway was shrouded in silence- if not for the sound of his own heartbeat, that seemed disproportionally loud. Making his way as silently as possible, he could feel the heat of his face rise up as he got closer to his classmate, who was completely oblivious to the young man’s presence.

As only a few steps separed him from her desk, Sebek’s mind went blank- what was he going to tell her? Lilia’s words came to his mind again, as he felt his heartbeat dangerously rise:

“You need to find something in common to talk about. It doesn’t have to be anything special- all you need to do is start a conversation in a way she won’t feel overwhelmed, or scared, by.”

Now that the moment had come, he suddenly realised how foolish he was- something common. In theory, it should be something easy to do: but in reality, he knew next to nothing about Claudine.

Nothing, apart from the quiet, elegant aura she gave out; nothing, apart from the colour of her eyes, who seemed to cast a spell on him whenever their eyes crossed; nothing, apart from the sound of her laughter, which sounded like a melody to his ears.

Nevertheless, he had to say something- after going so far as to trouble his dear Waka-sama and Lilia-sama, he had no choice but to be brave and talk to her. But about what could he possibly chat about.....

“...!!” Sebek recognised the textbook Claudine was skimming through- it was the one Professor Crewel recommended for their next practical. Having regained some confidence, he straightened his posture and took a deep breath. “--- Claudine-san!!!! I see you are revising for Crewel’s next examination!!!”

Claudine’s body jerked as she let out a surprised gasp. She turned her head to Sebek’s direction, only to notice that her classmate was standing a few centimetres away from her, staring at her textbook. Cheeks flaming, she slightly moved her chair and cleared her throat, playing with her hair nervously.

“O-Oh, Sebek-san.... Yes, I was revising for... For Crewel’s next class. I was confused with this lesson-”

“I can teach you!!!!! Gladly!!!!” Sebek answered disproportionally loud with a proud smirk. “You see, I have always scored perfect marks on all my alchemy test!!!”

“I-Is that so? That is quite impressive... B-But, I wouldn’t want to waste your time....”

“No, you wouldn’t be wasting my time!!!! After all, as fellow Diasomnia students, it is important that we strive for perfection, as to not dishonour our liege!!!”

Claudine let out a nervous chuckle, and nodded. She’d seen Sebek around quite a lot, being a dormmate and classmate of his, but as far as she could recall, this was the first time they properly talked to each other. “He’s kinder than I thought, if he’s offering to help for free....” She looked up to stare at his features- she’d always thought that he was handsome, but as he was sitting this close to her, she couldn’t help but marvel at his chiseled facial features. Suddenly noticing that she had been staring for far too long, she shook her head and proceeded to pay attention to what her classmate was telling her.

“That, that.... and that. Do you get it now, Claudine-san??”

“Uh....” Claudine could feel her cheeks heat up. “I do, but I’m still a bit confused about that part...” She glanced at the clock, feeling her stomach growling. “And it’s getting quite late as well...”

“... !!” Sebek abruptly stood up, scaring his classmate in the process. “Well, if that’s the case, we should start again tomorrow, at the same time!!!”

“T-Tomorrow? Are you sure that you don’t mind.... Wasting your time teaching me? What about your bodyguard duties?”

“Do not fret, for I will make sure to accompany Waka-sama on his nightwalks instead!!! And....” Sebek’s gaze met Claudine’s innocent eyes, and he could feel a blush creeping on his cheeks. “.... A-As I told you, it’s my duty as Waka-Sama’s servant to make sure all Diasomnia students score higher than other dorms!!!”

Claudine nodded cautiously, and proceeded to tidy up the desk, not without thanking the young boy for his services. As the classroom was tinged with the last rays of the sun, she gestured to him to follow her, as she slowly made her way to the refectory.

As she was looking ahead, visibly nervous, she did not notice the proud, yet bashful, grin of the unusually silent boy, who was recalling his mentor’s words:

“.... and once you find something to talk about, find a way to become acquainted with her. You’re classmates, aren’t you? It should be easy for you to see her again.”

Sebek was elated- even the faint shouts coming from the refectory could not ruin his mood. After all, he was going to see her again- and the day where he would feel brave enough to ask her to the ball would surely come.

But for now, as Lilia advised- he was going to take things step by step- as carefully as someone like him possibly could.
