Life has its ways of bringing you back to deal with your old problems. You know, the ones you tried to forget about, ultimately being left unresolved until they pop up again.
When you face those problems again, there are two options you can choose from. One, solve it and move on. Two, make it worse.
Liana, a Wellston student and a part-time barista, has an ability she's been mostly hiding her whole life, only letting it out in small, controlled spurts.
When things in her second-year begin to deteriorate, with conflicts both inside and out threatening both their supposed-to-be normal school lives, and tearing the hierarchy apart, she has two choices.
Get over her trauma and master her ability, or stand by and watch everyone suffer.
However, rather than sticking with the idea of only two possible outcomes that both bring their own struggles, she chose an option that wasn't presented.
She's made a choice, instead, to simply do what she can.
"I want.. to save people."
After confronting Arlo and Remi in a courtyard and instigating a fight unwinnable for them, John feels the immense pressure of a power thought to be permanently gone.
Facing a fight with his former friend, Seraphina, John is forced into a situation where he truly embraces the old.
Unready and unwilling to change yet, John stands his ground with his years of experience propping him up to face the goddess who wants to talk.
John knows what Seraphina wants, he's just not willing to give it.
(This story is a take on the alternate future that could have been in Unordinary had John been more stable during his fight with Seraphina. This piece will delve into the idea of the final fight not being a simple solution where Seraphina breaks through to John, but starts an entirely different series of events with a slower path to reconciliation.)
