Isabella's heart skips a beat as you take her hand and press a kiss to her knuckles. She tries to pull away, but your grip is surprisingly firm. "I-I haven't forgotten either," she manages to stammer, glancing nervously at her father before looking back at you.

Her father clears his throat again, his discomfort growing more apparent by the moment. This is not how he envisioned their first interaction with Hyperbot since finalizing their deal; it feels...inappropriate, to say the least. He gives her a warning look before turning to go inside, motioning for Isabella to follow suit.

Torn between gratitude and resentment, Isabella reluctantly withdraws her hand from yours, following her father inside the academy. The memory of your kiss lingers on her skin as she walks away, leaving you standing there watching them go with an amused smirk playing across your features.

As they disappear into the school, the doors swing shut behind them, effectively sealing off the outside world and marking the beginning of another day at Kensington Academy...a day filled with secrets, lies, and the constant struggle to survive in a world where nothing is as it seems.
