Despite his seemingly grim exterior, Arno had moments of hidden joy, particularly when indulging in his favorite pastime – fishing.

Amid the shadows of Thirlcrest Academy's woodlands, Arno found himself in an environment that both intrigued and unnerved him. The private institution, with its sprawling grounds and secluded setting, offered a different kind of isolation from the bustling world outside. Arno's academic struggles continued, exacerbated by the pressure of a more demanding educational environment.

The clinking of dishes and the hum of fluorescent lights provided a rhythmic backdrop to his solitary nights, offering a stark contrast to the chaotic world he faced during the day.

The janitorial role became Arno's sanctuary, a space where he could retreat into the anonymity of cleaning tasks and avoid the complexities of human interaction. The night shifts allowed him to escape the prying eyes and unwarranted conversations, offering a semblance of control over his environment.

Arno's classmates, seemingly oblivious to his struggles, moved in their own circles, leaving him to navigate the hallways like a ghost. His Presence as a part of the Outcasts, marked as a silent rebellion against the conformity around him. It was a subtle way for Arno to express a fragment of his identity in a world that demanded assimilation.
Despite the hardships, Arno's moments of joy persisted in the serenity of his fishing escapades. The wooded areas surrounding Craggy Shore provided a secluded spot where he could cast his line into the water, escaping the prying eyes of both classmates and teachers. Fishing remained his refuge, a silent dialogue with nature that helped him momentarily forget the cacophony within.
As Arno continued to navigate the complexities of his life, his journey at Thirlcrest Academy became a delicate dance between conformity and self-preservation.

His silent presence, marked by a desire for solitude and an unspoken plea for understanding, echoed through the secluded halls of the prestigious institution.
