Hello people! I just finished the draft of chapter 22, clocking in at 8826 words, and I'm hopefully gonna cut it down to around 5k, but we'll see. Anyway, it's a Precocious chapter, here's your teaser. Not to spoil you, but oh my god Precocious is SO brainwashed, it's such a contrast to Shadowhunter or Gaze lol.

The first time the mind-readers came to check our class for bad thoughts, I was only a few months into my first year of school. You never knew when it was going to happen, that was sort of the point, although the teachers always briefed us on the possibility, listed right below fire drills in our student handbook.
I was making some kind of craft project with Ambition and Way, plotting how to get Trailblazer out of the principal's office--I think we were supposed to be making decorations for the upcoming solstice, but we barely had any art supplies. Our regular teacher had been drafted, so Clearsight was acting as the substitute teacher for the week, until they could find someone else--which wasn't actually an uncommon occurrence. After Trailblazer got sent to the principal's office for trying to throw a table at Eclipse, the classroom was full of whispers, and one kid had started a betting pool on whether or not he would get executed.
