As she lay there, questioning her own perceptions, she couldn't help but wonder if there was still a glimmer of that fairy tale ending somewhere within the complexities of her relationship with Arion.
Yes, she remembered it all because Arion had always been kind to her. Arion was the only friend she had during her time in the pet division.
At least before Luna Eve started showing hatred towards her, Arion always made sure she was okay.
During her early days at the academy, Arion would often bring her snacks and books. His kindness and care had become a source of solace for Lily, allowing her to endure the hardships of her daily life.
Despite the constant danger and the manipulative nature of the academy, Arion had shown her a glimpse of compassion and warmth.
Lily couldn't help but cling to that memory as a glimmer of hope, a reminder that not everyone in the world was as cold and ruthless as the Moonshadow Alphas.
