The Village of Secrets!

"It's you," Amelia finally admitted, nodding with a mixture of realization and respect.

The acknowledgment like a carefully guarded secret, shared only within the confines of this unexpected encounter.

Eleanor, maintaining her composure, nodded in confirmation. "That's right. I'll decide what to do with him, and I have already decided. You are going to use all the resources to help him heal, and keep him within the school premises until then."

The gravity of Eleanor's command hit Amelia like a sudden gust of wind, leaving her momentarily stunned. "Keep him with me!?But why?" she exclaimed, her eyes blinking in disbelief.

Eleanor, known for her calculated and sometimes harsh decisions, wasn't exactly renowned for acts of mercy.

This unexpected directive felt like a deviation from the norm, and Amelia couldn't help but question the underlying motives.

Eleanor, however, offered no immediate explanation.
