Millie was literally kicked out.

"Couldn't take a hint to leave, had to be thrown out to feel good, huh? Get lost already!"

Somehow, she found herself in front of Grandstone Institute's gates.

Watching the students go in and out, laughing and full of life, she remembered she used to be one of them. Suddenly, she spotted a familiar face in the crowd!

She rushed over, grabbing her like she was the last lifeline.
