Recalling their past.
There's a sorrow in this world, where memories I regard as precious, people I regard as precious; but to them, my memories are but fleeting moments.
Never remembered.

When Hannah returned to school laden with her bags, the dorm room was buzzing with activity. Even from outside the slightly ajar door, she could hear the laughter inside.
If she did not already know the story, she might have really believed that this dormitory was as harmonious as it appeared.
When Hannah pushed the door open, the three people in the room all looked over, their conversation and laughter suddenly coming to a halt.
Three faces with different expressions, all showing some surprise, but more than that, a measure of scrutiny and contempt.
But it was no wonder they were surprised. The former occupant of the room, Hannah Winter, had moved out of the dormitory not long after the school year began. Even though her belongings were still there, everyone knew where she had gone.
Either she had climbed into the bed of some influential figure, or otherwise why would an unknown university student like her be given resources for and offered roles in films.
Of the three, Gilly Harrison was the first to react, rising from her chair, "Hannah, why did you come back so suddenly?" She noticed the luggage in Hannah's hand and the smile on her face was somewhat intriguing.
"Weren't you always staying off-campus? Why are you here today...?"
The words that followed, she didn't need to finish, Jenny King on the side picked up where she left off, "How else could it be? She was ditched by her sugar daddy."
Jenny, lounging in her chair with one leg casually draped over the bed across from her, her face elaborately made up, made her features even sharper, more aggressive. She looked Hannah up and down who stood at the doorway, with undisguised scorn and contempt.
She looked down on Hannah, yet was jealous of her good looks, which fueled her aversion towards Hannah.
Jenny King came from the wealthiest family of the three in the dorm, and was spoiled since childhood. From the first day in the dormitory, she disdained Hannah Winter for being prettier than her.
Especially when she learned that Hannah had gotten a contract with a company before she did, she felt even more resentful. So, after Hannah moved out of the dormitory, she spread even more rumors about her at school.
The original Hannah was gentle and was focused on George River at the time, never thinking to clarify the rumors. This only gave more room for the gossip to ferment.
In the eyes of others, Hannah had become a synonym for someone without true ability, who sold her body to get ahead.
"I paid for my dormitory fee, is there a problem with me coming back to the dorm?" Hannah looked at the trio and said.
Gilly Harrison smiled, "Of course there's no problem, it's just that you haven't come back to live here for such a long time, we're not used to it."
"You'll get used to it." Hannah looked to the side at Gilly Harrison and nodded.
Her face, even after two years, it had not changed from when she had just started school. Even without makeup, it was flawless, delicate, and lively.
Gilly grimaced slightly when she looked at Hannah's face, stepping aside to give Hannah room.
Gilly could be considered pretty in the outside world, but her looks were not quite up to the standard in a film academy filled with stunning beauties, one could even say she was plain.
But her reputation at school was good, although she was not attractive, people would still give her face and say she had a good personality.
But for Gilly, these felt more like mockery.
