Summary: Vanille studies at the Quad until the sun goes down.

May contain spoilers.

Studying had been the biggest challenge Vanille has had to face since her arrival to Balamb. The topics weren't engaging, and the lack of enthusiasm of being a cadet was more than enough to provoke slacking. Any attempt in studying ended up in Vanille finding something completely different to do. She sits down with history and rises only after making her homework into paper flowers. The quad was more helpful of an environment than her room, and way more pleasant than the library. She for once, had found it easier to concentrate. Hell, she might have actually learned something today!

She had been there since dinner, books scattered around her like a halo of knowledge. With determination, she beat legends and cadet codes into her brain until it swelled. A promise was made, the promise to keep trying, no matter what. Fang had made it clear she wanted to stay, so she was going to make the effort, even if it killed her.

The sun had gone now, hidden back behind the mountains for another quiet night. No light meant no more study time, a bit of relief for her. After she closed the last of her books, Vanille stretched her arms up as if turning pages was the hardest workout she'd ever endured.

"Mm, good work!" She reassured herself, flopping back to make better use of those books by converting them to uncomfortable (but practical) pillows.
