At Crestfield University, located in the scenic city of Silverbridge, students come from all walks of life, chasing ambitions and carving fresh starts. For Chase, a freshman, Crestfield is more than just a university—it’s a chance to escape the lingering impressions of middle and high school. Despite his best efforts to blend in, his natural charisma and appearance always seemed to betray him, especially when surrounded by those who remembered him.

Now, far from familiar faces and old perceptions, he’s determined to stay unnoticed and live quietly. Diana Lumis, a sophomore, also keeps to herself, moving through campus with an enigmatic air. 

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Crestfield’s ivy-covered walls and the shifting seasons of Silverbridge, this is a story of quiet connections, personal growth, and the beauty found in everyday life.

Diana frowned. "Is today a holiday?" She turned to Lila for answers.

Lila smirked. "The new headmaster is giving a speech in the auditorium."

Diana didn't like how smug she looked, but she did notice Alice seemed a bit nervous. She didn't question it. However, when they reached the front of the auditorium, Chase—snapping out of his zombie-like state—and Diana instinctively turned their rings into bows, their gazes sharp with suspicion.
