    Twisted wonderland

    You had a good time in NRC, you met so many new people and it was way more interesting than your life back home. Some dowsides was that a lot of people were arrogant and prideful, and NRC was an all-boys school.. But one day, you somehow Overbloted yourself. And sadly, because you don't have any magic in your body like everyone else who Overbloted, you're body passed because it didn't have the strength to carry something that feeds off magic.

    Ever since then, NRC seemed to get darker, just as it was before you left. All the problems you helped with, all the comfort you provided, suddenly it became messy and broken yet again. Grim started staying at Heartslabyul because you couldn't take care of them at Ramshackle anymore, he even stoped causing trouble and was way more quiet than usual. Riddle, started getting stricter once again, the rules he once got over, starting to heal from wounds inflicted by his mother, now blooming once again. Leona, more arrogant and shut-off once again, the only thing people would hear from him is insults, and him muttering, a lot of times about his hometown and being a disappointment. Azul, more self-conscious and greedy than ever, but he got so overwhelmed now that he would shut down everything else along with himself. Kalim, that light he always had, maybe even before you were there, it was like you had taken it with you when you left. Vil, had become even more lost in his vanity, was almost always seen looking in a mirror, and always heard crying in his dorm room. Idia, he never came out of her room, it wasn't a surprise, but he stoped using a lot of his electronics as well, he forgets to charge Ortho sometimes, and he's started focusing on his parents approval and working for STYX. Malleus, though he had gained friends along the way with you, he became more and more lonley as the days passed, he wasn't even arrogant anymore, he was just quiet, he would skip classes just to visit Ramshackle dorm, sometimes even staying all night.

    But... they forgot, there are ghosts at NRC, whether they are in a painting or just hover over a specific room, some are even visible and can talk.* In which, five years after your death, you also became a ghost. You stayed in Ramshackle, it was cold and quiet. You'd look outside to see Malleus at night just stare at the dorm house, but unlike your first meeting, he wasn't just thinking about the gargoyles. Sometimes others would come and look at the dorm, but no one ever dared go inside, not even Crowley or any staff that passed by the dorm.

    The three ghosts that already resided in Ramshackle for some reason had disappeared, maybe because they were spirits of playful energy and with everyone mourning they had to leave with no energy to absorb?

    One day, you realized, you had never actually tried to go outside of the dorm. So you decided to go out, and it worked! You went to NRC before classes started, you just wandered the halls in the mean time, it all felt... Uneasy... Like something was missing..?

    It looked... different... Not abandoned, it looked well cared for, but things were changed, objects removed, moved, or added in the halls, walls having more paintings on them, aome you remembered were still there but starting to fade.

    Usually the boys would be pushing each other, talking, yelling, doing something productive at this time, but the halls were quiet, which was surprising.

    It really has changed...

    Suddenly, you heard some noise coming from the room you remembered to be the sorting room, where this all started, where the memories of this place started. You saw... Your friends, but, something was different. This must be a class reunion. They all looked older, the first years looked to be around 21, they all still looked good, but they were different whether clothes or auras.

    Would they see you? Would they even remember you? You're a ghost now, maybe they forgot you...
