Luce is sent to "Sword and Cross" a reform/college prep school for young adults, after she is blamed for the death of Trevor, a boy Luce once had a crush on. After they kissed, Trevor was killed in a fire shortly after Luce saw "shadows".
Upon arriving at her new school, Luce is briefed on the rules and history of Sword and Cross by Randy, and encounters Cameron, another student, as he is brought in via a police car and in handcuffs. They make eye contact and seemingly a connection.
Arriane Alter, an outgoing girl with long black hair, takes Luce under her wing, and informs her of the status quo of Sword and Cross. Arriane says that the third floor of the dormrooms are for students with mental problems, and is momentarily dumbfounded when Luce tells Arriane her room is on the third floor, apologizing soon after.
Luce visits the library, where she meets Miss Sophia, a grey-haired religious scholar teacher, who gives Luce her books for her classes and gives her a slip for the "special collections" section of the library. As she wanders through, she begins to see the return of "The Shadows," paranormal, ink-like smudges that Luce has been seeing since childhood. She then sees Daniel sitting by a window with a sketch and charcoal pencil and approaches him. Daniel wakes up when he realizes Luce's presence. They look at each other before Daniel quickly gets up to leave.
