Dillar Villair - Prince of Cosmos clan

The cafeteria seemed to still itself as the golden-haired prince took a step forward. Light from the large crystal-paneled windows caught the silver trim of his uniform, casting his silhouette in a soft celestial glow. With eyes like galaxies collapsing inward and a voice that hummed with authority, he began:

> "My name is Dillar Villair... Prince of the Cosmos Clan. And soon, I'll—"

But before the final word could pass his lips, the cafeteria doors hissed open with a rush of pressured air. Three men dressed in jet-black, ceremonial bodyguard suits entered, their boots tapping a sharp rhythm across the marble flooring. Sleek visors glinted over their faces, and the insignia of the Cosmos Clan pulsed faintly on their shoulders.

> "My prince," one of them spoke, bowing slightly. "Your father requests your immediate presence in the principal's office. It is urgent."

Dillar's radiant eyes flicked from Vibe to the guards.

> "Understood. Excuse me... Vibe."

His tone was laced with unspoken emotion—recognition? Regret?—before he turned and followed the guards, his royal cape trailing behind him like stardust.

The moment the doors closed behind him, the tension in the room broke like glass.

Rose leaned in, her voice teasing, but her eyes sharp with curiosity.

> "Alright... what was that all about?"

Jin-nah leaned across the table, eager.

> "Vibe... you know him, don't you? You totally do!"

Vibe sat still for a moment, her hands clenched just slightly around the edge of her tray. The air around her shimmered faintly, as if a soundless ripple passed through it.

> "No," she said, her voice firm but detached. Her gaze fixed forward, eyes dark beneath her lashes. "I don't know him. Nothing's going on."

She stood abruptly, brushing invisible dust from her skirt.

> "Besides... I need to get home. Tomorrow's a big day."

Her tray clattered softly as she set it aside. Without waiting for a reply, Vibe turned and walked toward the exit, her figure gradually melting into the soft sunset light pouring through the long corridor. A subtle wind stirred behind her, even though the doors hadn't opened yet—a whisper of power flickering just beneath her composed façade.

Rose and Jin-nah watched her go in silence for a moment.

Then Rose sat back with a knowing smirk, resting her chin on her hand.

> "She totally knows him."

Jin-nah giggled.

> "And he totally knows her."

The two leaned in, bursting into hushed gossip and laughter, their plates of half-eaten food forgotten as the name Dillar Villair danced between them—an omen, a spark, and a question yet to be answered.

Far above the academy, the sky darkened faintly. And beyond the veil of clouds, something ancient stirred—something watching.
