In the quiet cocoon of her dorm, as the school year neared its inevitable conclusion, Selene found herself immersed in a reflective solitude. The walls, witness to the tapestry of moments that wove through the academic year, seemed to emanate a subtle nostalgia. The ambient glow of muted lamplight cast a warm embrace over the room, creating an intimate sanctuary for introspection.

Perched on the edge of her bed, Selene, now free from the façade of Sophia, allowed her thoughts to traverse the intricate pathways of the past year. The journey, akin to a rollercoaster of emotions, had left an indelible mark on her, a testament to the ever-changing currents of the supernatural tapestry she navigated.

Gratitude swelled within her as she ruminated on the friendships forged under the guise of Sophia. The laughter shared, the secrets whispered, and the collective joy that defined those moments became a cherished mosaic in the gallery of her memories. The camaraderie with Olivia, Emma, and Zane, each bringing a unique hue to the canvas of her academy experience, was a treasure she held close to her heart.

Yet, amidst the mosaic of friendships, one figure stood out with a radiance that eclipsed the rest. Oscar, with his warmth and genuine kindness, had become a beacon of support and understanding. Selene marveled at the depth of their connection, a bond that transcended the superficiality often associated with social identities. Oscar's unwavering friendship, untainted by the complexities of supernatural politics, was a source of solace and strength.

As her thoughts meandered through the labyrinth of her experiences, Selene couldn't escape the shadow cast by the fractured relationships with the other Quads—Ronan, Connor, and Hudson. Regret, like a phantom, whispered in the recesses of her mind. The echoes of what could have been lingered in the air, and Selene grappled with the profound sense of loss.

The Quads, once pillars of her social universe, had become enigmatic figures with veils of mystery. The masks they wore around her, the representative of the Moon Goddess, had crumbled to reveal the authentic selves beneath. Selene, in her dual identity as Sophia and Selene, had unraveled the intricacies of their personalities, discovering layers that went beyond the charming exteriors.

Ronan, the stoic artist, hid reservoirs of depth and emotion beneath his composed exterior. Connor, the charismatic charmer, carried an enigmatic aura that hinted at complexities not easily deciphered. Hudson, the poet with an elusive demeanor, was a wellspring of sentiments concealed beneath the surface. The realizations, though tinged with regret, brought with them a sense of clarity.

In her role as the Moon Goddess's representative, Selene had become a confidante for the Quads, a receptacle for the multifaceted facets of their beings. The realization that the masks were no more, replaced by authenticity, left her grappling with the aftermath of revelation. The dynamics had shifted, and Selene wondered if the newfound understanding would pave the way for reconciliation or further distance.

Amidst the myriad emotions that tugged at her, Selene acknowledged the complexity of the supernatural world she inhabited. The school year, a chapter on the brink of conclusion, had been a crucible of growth, testing the resilience of her spirit and the bonds she held dear.

As the final echoes of the academic year reverberated through the dorm, Selene, bathed in the gentle glow of introspection, prepared herself for the inevitable transitions that lay ahead. The dorm, once a haven of anticipation and uncertainty, now cradled the echoes of laughter, camaraderie, regret, and the quiet resolve to face the unknown with a heart fortified by the lessons of the past.
