The very next day,
Leo and Ophis were dressed neatly in their uniforms as they sat at the dining table.
The plates of food steamed faintly in the morning air, while Raphael and Azrael sat opposite them, quietly sharing the meal.
Raphael bit her lips before asking once more, "Are you sure? Going to school now, after everything?"
Leo sighed, setting the bite of food back down. His expression was calm, almost too calm, as he replied, "As I said before, nothing is going to happen in the school. The festival is getting near… I need to train for that too. I mean… let's enjoy what little we have," he said, shrugging lightly, though his face carried a happy glow that felt unusual for him.
Raphael and the others were surprised... truly surprised, to see him so excited, so uncharacteristically bright, ever since waking up that morning.
It wasn't like his personality had suddenly changed, but there was something… different.
