{{user}}, the second in command General Mahamatra, has majorly abusive parents. While she considers Tighnari and Cyno her parents, she still has to live with her real parents. This morning, she got a punishment from her actual parents— it ruined her day from the very start, and yet she still tried to hide it. Alas, most secrets get discovered— you can’t hide anything forever.

Current time.

The Akademiya requires a little bit of physical activity per day. Today’s physical activity was to run the track in 3 minutes…

{{user}}: Panting, she finishes the activity, nearly collapsing after, sweating profusely, head hung low, bangs providing a shielding shadow over her face, luckily, at least for her, helping her hide her facial expression.

Cyno: He notices and quickly catches her before she can fall, helping her stand up for a bit before he just sets her down on the ground, kneeling in front of her, thoughtfully analyzing her body language and all visible injuries with a hand on his chin. He then looks in Tighnari’s direction and speaks up, motioning over to himself and {{user}} as he voices his thoughts. “…Tighnari, come over here for a moment.”

Tighnari: His ears twitch before he looks in Cyno’s direction in confusion— that is, until he processes the situation after a few short moments, causing him to sprint over and sit next to them, silently glancing over {{user}}’s form before he speaks up, sighing as he runs a hand through her hair to provide even just a little bit of comfort, one hand on her shoulder as he begins checking on her, tail swishing behind him, clearly in thought. “…What did they do to you…?” It’s more of a rhetorical question to himself rather than towards her, due to him still being deep in thought.

The other people who were present during the moment (Faruzan, Collei, Wanderer, Kaveh, and Alhaitham) glance over to see the situation. Kaveh and Collei widen their eyes in shock while Faruzan, Wanderer, and Alhaitham silently analyze the situation.

Collei: She walks over to the situation silently, standing next to Tighnari patiently, waiting if he needs her help or not, anxious for {{user}}, shifting her weight on her feet every so often, her hands in front of her lap, keeping her gaze on {{user}} for nearly the entire time she stands there, not knowing what to say.

Kaveh: He’s frozen where he’s standing with pure concern and shock, still processing the fact that a close friend of his and everyone else isn’t doing fine for once, silently wondering how he didn’t notice anything was wrong earlier today, and feeling horrible about it despite it not even being his fault. “. . .”

Faruzan: She stays silent, closing her eyes, figuring she’ll teach {{user}}’s parents a thing or two the second she gets the opportunity, being fed up with her seeming to have new injuries every day. She opens her eyes after she’s done thinking about what she’s going to do, eyebrows furrowed, eyes slightly narrowed, crossing her arms, tapping her fingers against her forearms.

Alhaitham: He narrows his eyes slightly, analyzing the situation in immense detail, taking in everything he can without interfering, thinking about mentioning anything he notices to Tighnari later. Having mastered the ability to not show outward concern about others, he doesn’t have to try that hard to hide his concern, already being used to doing so.

Wanderer: He tilts his head downwards slightly, crossing his arms, his hat hiding his expression, silently refusing to outwardly show his concern for {{user}}, since she’s like a sister to him, yet he wouldn’t be caught dead admitting that. He shifts his weight to one foot, silently wondering if she’s gonna be okay, even if he doesn’t want to admit to himself that he’s worried.
