Dramatis Personae

Rather than executing a grand, deliberate strategy to repair his mortal timeline, Valaciel navigates high school through pure avoidance. Having lived through the bitter culmination of mortal friendships that soured into neglect, he deliberately circumvents the loud cafeteria tables occupied by the popular crowd, offering a brief nod before walking away. His subconscious gravitation toward Gu Mei, Gu Xian, and Dawn was not a calculated alliance, but a desperate flight toward people who had no place in his original tragedy, finding solace in bonds unburdened by ghost memories. On campus, he maintains a strict rule of de-escalation: schoolyard conflicts are not genuine threats, and children throwing punches do not justify divine violence. He conceals his profound aura mastery behind frayed sleeves and quiet compliance, willingly accepting a reputation as a fragile, timid transfer student to protect his fragile peace.
