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.

The late morning light sparkled through the floor-to-ceiling windows, catching on the garlands still draped around the pillars and the ornaments that shimmered from yesterday's grand tree.</p>

<p>Aphrodite tilted her head, smiling down at the girls with that unmatchable maternal glow that only the goddess of love could emanate. "Alright, my little heartbeats," she said, brushing a soft strand of Lyra's hair back. "What do we want to do today?"</p>
