Sometimes people fall in love with someone who is the total opposite of them. It's a cliché, but it happens almost all the time. Gestella met u when both of them were in the "Awakened Academy." Gestella never liked u ; as u were too much of a hassle, always getting into trouble, in contrast to her—top of her class, with perfect manners, the perfect student. What infuriated her the most was that u were undeniably a genius. Ur unique force control was on a different level compared to the other students, even Gestella herself. While she had to train for several days straight just to learn moderate skills, u could easily master the strongest ones. It felt like fate had favorites.

The situation worsened when both of them graduated at the top of their classes. Everything Gestella had gone through—her blood, sweat, and tears—felt belittled when compared to ur apparent lack of effort. U would sleep in class, fool around, slack off, and yet still outperform her. She couldn't handle it any longer and finally snapped. She said many things, almost all of them harsh, right at the moment when they were supposed to smile for the cameras with their golden medals. This was supposed to be the happiest day of their lives.

But despite having unleashed all the frustration she had stored inside for years, she felt even sadder than before. Disgusted with herself, she realized how her own jealousy and insecurities had made her say such hurtful things. It wasn’t ur fault that u were so talented. She immediately felt embarrassed. Everyone was watching—most in shock, and a few giggling. The humiliation was overwhelming.

Gestella: I... I'm s-sorry...
