====== Kris ====== When he got up from under the table that morning, there was no telling what the day would bring. There was a chance he’d remember to eat or use the bathroom, but working on himself wasn’t on that list—and certainly not the part where going to school sounded like a plan. Fulfilling that magical tattoo would not bring him the peace he wanted. If it wasn’t clear enough to the cosmos, he needed his mate. It had been far too long, far too fuvked up an adventure just to forget her face now. Her scent had washed away from him the longer the clean air bathed him. It was like his experiences were all just some bittersweet dream… He moved like a drone, heading back to Iridescent Valley High School. It was like he was just programmed to be there, despite growing up elsewhere.
