Like usual, it was Adagio that spoke, once the group approached. She imagined they were looking for the rest of Sunset’s group: and in the absense of that, they decided to talk to Sunset herself? Who knew.
At least she was straightforward about it. That gave Sunset all the more reason to consider that yes, there was indeed a purpose to their visit. But what was there to talk about?
“So long as none of you try anything.”
She glanced over to the observing students, and bit her lip. She hoped this didn’t turn into another ridiculous rumor fiesta, that the supposedly reformed Sunset Shimmer was in cahoots with the sirens after all. As stupid as it was, some students believed in anything.
“There’s an empty classroom at the end of this corridor. C’mon.”
She’d lead the way to the room in question. If the others did follow and came inside, Sunset could close the door after them and wait.
There was the expected skepticism.  Honestly, it would have been more worrying for Adagio if Sunset wasn’t doubting them.  It would mean she could be planning something of her own so she could shut them down before they even got the chance to get their new start in the school.  So long as she would listen to them at all, though, there was hope yet.
With a nod, the lead siren began to walk after her, the other two quick to trail behind her. Â The looks from the other students seemed as intent as ever, noticing that they were now going with someone once in a position the trio now found themselves in. Â What could it mean...?
They were let in once they reached the classroom, taking their positions a few meters in before turning back to her.  Adagio’s eyes closed, letting out a quick sigh before she opened them again to look at Sunset.
“What we did to you all at the time of the Battle of the Bands...what we did to this whole school...it was awful, we know.  We got what we deserved for it, and most students would have us never show our faces here again.”
Of course it was awful.  They’d put nearly the entire student body at each others’ throats and hypnotized them, after which they planned to take the whole world.  They couldn’t very well deny that or try to make excuses.
“But...the time that has passed since then has taught us something.  It’s been grueling, rough, and above all...normal.  We took our magic for granted, used others for our own benefit, and now that it’s gone, we’ve had no idea how to go on!”
Aria spoke up at that moment.  “Then a little while ago we realized...with our lives so different now, we’d have to change too.  We can’t survive if we just keep on going how we were.”
“Right.  And while we could always run away to somewhere we’ve never been for a fresh start, we’d never know if we’re really making progress that way.  We want to make sure we’re bettering ourselves...and we want those who saw us at our worst to help make sure that happens.”
