The headmistress started the conversation very lightly: "So, what life-changing trauma happened to you?" "I've been closed in human experiment hospital against magic for 8 years and a few months, you see." "Wait, what?" Nathan stopped my starting monologue of angst, "You told me you ran away." "Yeah, that's true," I shrugged, "I just never told you from where." I think I haven't seen a person looking this surprised and shocked at the same time. The urge to start laughing was almost unbearable, but I think I'd freak him out even more. The head of the school looked amused as well.
