Everything is gone that they could touch that even hinted of traces when the school went higher.”

“What was it like when it was higher? Did you mingle much?”

“It was high enough that it wasn't asking much of overlings to mingle. There were even a few classes at the very middle of the tree that shared a schedule.” He smiled. “You would have loved it, which is why we are here.”
