After all the chaos finally settled—and after another round of light conversations with Rachel and the others—I was finally standing where I truly wanted to be ever since Avi's downfall.
The Chairman's office.
Now, don't get the wrong idea. It's not like I came here just because I killed Avi.
…Okay, fine. That was part of it.
But the real reason?
If word gets out that Samuel—the fake identity Avi created—has mysteriously gone missing from within the academy, then there's no doubt a full-scale investigation or search party would be launched.
And knowing the academy's efficiency… they would find me.
Which would, of course, spiral into even more chaos, more questions, and more headaches.
So I came here to save everyone the trouble. Including myself.
I came here to come clean.
In most academy stories, the protagonist always tries to cover things up. Hide the truth. Push through on their own.
