As Selene, now cloaked in the persona of Sophia, made her way to the academy, the anticipation of the new school year mingled with a bittersweet undertone. The sun painted the sky in hues of dawn, casting a golden glow on the path ahead, but within her, a quiet melancholy lingered like a shadow.

This year marked the culmination of their shared journey at the academy—a journey that, for Selene, bore the weight of untold secrets. The Quads, once inseparable, stood at the threshold of their final chapter together. Oscar, with his infectious laughter and warm gaze, held a special place in her heart, and the thought of not seeing him as frequently tugged at the strings of an unspoken sorrow.

Yet, it wasn't just Oscar she would miss; it was the camaraderie shared with Ronan, Connor, and Hudson. The quartet, once bound by a friendship that transcended the ordinary, now faced the inevitability of parting ways. Selene couldn't escape the pangs of nostalgia, thinking back to the moments they laughed, studied, and navigated the complexities of academy life together.

With each step, Selene's mind meandered through the labyrinth of possibilities. What if they knew the truth? What if they discovered that Sophia and Selene were mere facets of the same person? Would regret cast its long shadow over the memories they created? The question lingered like an unresolved chord, echoing in the recesses of her contemplation.

The memories of their interactions as Sophia played like a poignant melody in Selene's mind. There were times when their actions stung, the unknowing slights and the casual dismissal of Sophia's presence. A sigh escaped Selene's lips as she wondered if, given the chance to rewrite their story, the Quads would choose a different narrative.

As the academy loomed in the distance, Selene couldn't help but yearn for the simplicity of their past interactions. She missed the laughter, the camaraderie, and the unspoken understanding they once shared. The prospect of their impending separation added a layer of wistfulness to the air, a silent acknowledgment of the inevitable changes awaiting them.

In the tapestry of her thoughts, Selene envisioned a scenario where the Quads discovered the truth. Would they regret the moments when they unknowingly brushed off Sophia, not realizing that she was, in fact, the very essence of Selene? The complexity of these emotions painted a nuanced portrait, one where the palette of friendship, regret, and anticipation blended into a canvas of poignant introspection.

As she approached the academy gates, Selene's heart carried the weight of these unspoken sentiments. The Quads awaited, oblivious to the internal musings of the girl who walked among them as both a familiar presence and an enigmatic secret. The final year beckoned—an odyssey of emotions awaiting its unfolding, and Selene, with a mixture of nostalgia and anticipation, stepped into the hallowed halls of the academy, where echoes of friendship resonated with the promises and farewells that awaited them all.
