So yeah, Cahaya always found it hard to fit in with his siblings. Declaring that his only true friends are books and mathematical equations, which made it hard finding friends since... well... he was in a whole other level with them in terms of intelligence.

Being the "youngest" septuplet has its perks, especially if you're surrounded by doting and protective brothers.

He didn't want to admit it to the others... but harboring the nightmares they usually had in their original form had (unfortunately) fallen on him instead. And what's worse was that it was more vivid than when he wasn't in this elemental form. Was it because it was in his second-tier form when he had been thrown out into that cold, dark space? (He dreamt he was back in that darkness floating- freezing- suffocating-)

He finally hit his breaking point as his eyes never left the red mark on the top of his test paper. Even when the teacher had ended the class. Even when the students started standing up from their seats, packing their notes and books. Even when the red numbers started to become undecipherable as his vision blurred. He couldn't believe it. He just... He just failed his exam.
