Fate finished his first tour of Bloomspire Academy. He left with a very impressive list of improvements that he needed to make on Shadow Spire Citadel.
While walking back home, Fate thought about Hope Ends Academy again and decided to tell Ruby his interesting idea.
"Ruby, as far as the decoration for Hope Ends Academy—where hope goes to die—in keeping with this theme, we should make the school cold and oppressive to convey to the students: don't get your hopes up about going to school here or dare to enjoy it. You are here to learn, not to have fun."
Ruby heard Fate's words and considered them carefully. They could incorporate all of Fate's previous ideas for Hope Ends Academy but, at the same time, make it extremely oppressive and cold to wear down the will and minds of those who resist their education.
