Adler decided to live life on his own terms, embracing a rebellious streak. He found a kind of thrill in stirring up trouble at school, landing himself in detention more often than not, and constantly challenging authority. The school was practically on speed dial with his home, but his father never bothered to show up.
Feeling unchallenged and bored, Adler resorted to playing games during class, his antics getting bolder by the day. Yet, because he was a whiz in his studies, the teachers mostly turned a blind eye.

Did your whole family get wiped out too? What a coincidence, mine did!" Jenna shot him a frosty glance.
Soon enough, the butler hurried over, "Mr. Alec, please watch your words. This is Ms. Jenna!" "Ms. Jenna? Who's Ms. Jenna?" Adler frowned, then it clicked. Oh, the Dennis family was linked to the Costellos. "Hey, what's your name?" Adler asked, trailing behind Jenna.
But Jenna ignored him, walking on with confidence.
"Hey! Can you talk?" Adler pressed on, still tagging along.
Jenna was slender, looking quite small.
