Without Scandal, Without Stories, Without Past

That evening, amidst controversy, Jerome proudly updated his Twitter with nine snapshots of him and Vivian on the campus of Astontech University.

In the photos, the two sat side by side in a classroom: Vivian in an orange sweater, her hair tied up in a bun as she bent over a book, and Jerome in a similarly oversized sweater, a smirk playing on his lips as his gaze fell upon the girl's profile.

A mischievous sunbeam danced upon the pages of the book, casting the entire scene in a peculiar warmth.

Nine photos, nine styles, from the classroom to the campus courtyard, all the way to the dormitory park.

Every corner of Astontech University bore witness to the presence of these two figures as if Jerome had accompanied the girl throughout her entire youth.

Jerome's caption read: "Through spring, autumn, winter, and summer, she's mine. Let others not disturb."

Indirectly responding to Theo's previously deleted Twitter post.
