Yari would never have voiced it out loud, but she wished that Jiaoying hadn't left her behind.
When her father arrived, she already knew what he had come to talk to her about before he even opened his mouth to speak.
She had not yet come up with a convincing lie about her progress.
"So… I hear that there are some interesting stories going around as of late. About how a certain hole appeared in the sophomore dormitories."
Yari hid her face from view and wiped her slick cheeks. "What stories...?"
A box of tissues was held out in front of her. She shyly accepted them.
"The student you are monitoring... they say he spontaneously changed into a minotaur after a fight with an older cadet. A fight he somehow won, mind you."
Raidis gently tilts Yari's chin upward and helps her dab her face with a tissue.
His face is sentimental, but his eyes are full of thought.
From the outside looking in, they appeared to be a normal father-daughter duo.
