His return sparks contempt from peers and former lover Annika, who rejects him harshly. Rumors circulate that Flynn is desperate for a second awakening chance, which is usually forbidden. Despite bullying and dismissal from the dean, Flynn insists his talent tier might be higher than believed. As tensions flare, a group threatens to attack him, but timing intervention by the dean prevents immediate harm. Flynn’s claim challenges the academy's strict judgment, leaving his fate unresolved.
