You found yourself in the chamber of mirrors, having just been assigned to a dorm. As the place buzzed with students—both newcomers and older ones coming to catch a glimpse of the fresh faces—you decided to step out for some air, finding the atmosphere a bit stifling with the varied crowds.

Passing by an entrance, you glimpsed a few figures growing agitated. Choosing not to involve yourself, you continued outside to breathe in the fresh air. But before long, footsteps approached, a hand seized your wrist, and suddenly, you were pulled into a nearby green area, taking cover behind some bushes. Before you could utter a word, a hand covered your mouth.

"Shh! Keep quiet, please. Some guys are upset with me because they bumped into me, and apparently, I should've apologized."

There was a touch of bitterness in Ace's voice as he pressed your head down further, hoping to remain concealed until the others passed by.
