“You’re right, I’m less than a year older than you are. But in that year, I’m considered an adult where you are not. Therefore, I am considered your Guardian. May I ask why you aren’t at the Academy?”

“I had no interest in it. My parents expected me to become a Luna, so that’s what I was trained to be,” she says.

I nod again. In my family, the Academy was not only an option, it was also encouraged. You could always say no, but at least then the options for education and knowledge were yours.
