The morning sun stretched across the school courtyard.
Students moved as usual—talking, laughing, living.
But today…
Something felt different.
Lily walked through the entrance.
Beside her—
Olivia.
Calm. Light. Present.
Not in a flashy way.
But in a way that felt…
right.
Across the courtyard—
Leo and Derek stood watching.
Leo's eyes narrowed slightly.
"…That's new."
Derek didn't respond.
For once—
He looked genuinely surprised.
Leo glanced at him and smirked.
"Wow… love at first sight?"
Derek snapped immediately.
"Stop joking."
His eyes didn't leave Olivia.
"…Do you know who that is?"
Leo tilted his head, observing her.
"…No."
A pause.
"But…"
His gaze sharpened slightly.
"She feels… normal."
Another pause.
"Too normal."
Leo crossed his arms.
"As if she just… belongs here."
Derek looked at him.
"…To you, everything is imagination."
Leo shrugged.
"True."
The two girls approached.
Olivia smiled first.
Soft. Natural.
"Hi," she said.
"My name is Olivia Veil."
Derek froze.
Just slightly.
"…Veil?"
He stared at her.
"You… have a sister?"
Olivia blinked.
"Yes."
A small smile.
"I thought you knew."
Leo looked between them.
"…Wait. Since when was that part of the story?"
Derek stood up immediately.
"…Excuse me."
Olivia turned to Lily.
"…He reacts quickly."
Lily nodded.
"…He always does."
🌓 Separate Room
The door shut.
Silence.
Derek turned sharply.
"…What are you doing here?"
Olivia leaned against the wall.
Calm.
"The same thing you are."
Derek's voice dropped.
"Only one of us needs to be here."
Olivia tilted her head.
"And let you have all the fun?"
Derek didn't answer.
That alone was enough.
Olivia's expression softened.
Derek clicked his tongue.
"…I'm not playing around ."
Olivia looked at him.
Gently.
"…Neither am I"
Silence.
Then—
She smiled slightly.
"I also wanted to have fun."
Derek exhaled.
"…And you chose to become my sister?"
Olivia shrugged.
"Convenient."
Derek looked away.
"…Now I have to lie to him."
A pause.
"…He hasn't noticed yet."
Olivia walked past him.
"…But he will."
Derek's voice lowered.
"…I know."
🌿 Back to Reality
The door opened.
Lily stood outside.
"…Class is starting."
Olivia smiled.
"Coming."
As they walked—
Derek spoke quietly.
"…At least hide it."
Olivia blinked.
"…Hide what?"
Derek glanced at her.
"…That presence."
"…It's everywhere."
Olivia paused slightly.
Then smiled.
"…Sorry."
And just like that—
She adjusted.
Not her power.
But how it touched the world.
Leo, watching from afar—
Narrowed his eyes slightly.
"…Yeah…"
A small smile formed.
"…She's not normal."
