AFoS - Chapter 4
Lost Identity II

February 18, 47 - Rose's Household

Arcene is extremely irritated… Why oh why does she need to go to school…

In any normal circumstances, the most she would feel about going to school is just mild annoyance since there's quite a lot of benefits and one of the only downside is that she wouldn't be able to work on the things she like since school will take a large portion of her time

Another added bonus to going to school was that she would be far away from the house she lived in along with the residents within it, all of that makes the benefits outweigh the downsides

But her circumstance is anything but normal, and to add on to that, the benefits only applied to her past life, not her current one

There is little –if there is even any benefits at going to school since she basically know all of what is being taught, probably the only thing she doesn't intimately know are the things that the locals know but that wouldn't last long, in fact, she knows more deep things about Remnant than even the locals but a lot of the more general things are unknown to her, but even that could be learned passively over time

With all of that combined, there really is little to no benefits at going to school

And not to mention, while it has massively improved over the course of her past and current life, she still has a bit of social shyness to the people she doesn't know. Though Arcene could definitely follow and contribute to a conversation, she would still go to an effort to avoid social things as long it doesn't make her look too much of a recluse

In other words, Arcene tries her best to be just another face in the large crowd and not stand out too much

But her current circumstance does not allow that, if she remembers correctly, today is a Sunday which means tomorrow is a school day…

'If I remember correctly, today is in February…' Arcene thought to herself as she sighs and pinches her nose '... A month? Now that's the kicker ain't it? Which month does school end… I remember that my country ends it around March or April, but I very much know that that doesn't apply to all countries, and Vale is no exception… Probably

'I could probably draw up a theory if only I knew what country Vale is exactly based on… Actually no, I don't think it has an exact basis, and there's also the problem of me not knowing any other school years aside from my own country…

'I could just try and remember the date of when I graduated from grade 1… But…' Arcene continued to think, slowly getting more annoyed 'My memory is as reliable as always… And my graduation wasn't exactly a normal one either…'

Arcene then felt something poking her shoulder and she looks to see it was Summer

"What?" Arcene asked, though she failed at keeping her annoyance bleed into what she said

"You were glaring at the poor paper for too long, it's creepy…" Summer said in a faux scaredness

"I just had no idea what to draw." Arcene said 'Technically true, I am kinda having the artist equivalent of a writer's block…'

"Still…" Summer trailed off before leaving, not continuing one she just said

Arcene just looks blankly at Summer's retreating figure, 'Now that was weird… And out of character…'
