A mysterious envelope slides underneath Elijah's door. For Hawthorne.

[Elijah]

Elijah was at his desk, pen scribbling away at a worksheet when he heard a shuffle of paper by the door. He turned his head expecting his roommate to come in, but instead there was something on the floor that wasn't the usual piece of garbage.

Curious, the hero student stood and walked over to pick it up. Huh. An envelope addressed to him.

He opened it with a furrowed brow.

[Elijah]

Oh no, someone knows, how scary.

Except several people knew. The staff knew; as his Quirk was in the registry which they have access to. His father knew, as he received his records when he adopted him. Then there were your usual government figures and medical facilities.

But none of them would pull something like this, which possibly meant someone found out despite his best efforts at hiding it. Hmm.

With the paper still in his hand, Elijah opened the door and peeked out, swivelling his head to see if anyone could've placed the letter.

There's a potential culprit. Or at the very least a witness.

Elijah called out to the figure. "Hey. Did you leave this?" He lifted the letter in question should the student turn around.

"Yes."

[Elijah]

The freshman prepared himself for the lie, or for the person to try to evade the question. But instead they confirmed his suspicions immediately.

He blinked. "Then how do you know my name? Did you write this letter?" The student could very well just be a messenger. Elijah never met him after all.

"No, I didn't write the letter only delivered it as per instruction."

Elijah

[Elijah]

Yeah, that's what he expected. He pressed on. "Okay... and who asked you to deliver it?"
