Rain lashes the windows as charity laughter fills the hall. Alexander stands by the stairs, cold and detached, until you approaches. Their eyes lock—his indifferent, hers hardened. He ignores her initial taunt, focusing on his phone. When she mentions his university acceptance, he remains stoic, claiming emotions are weakness. She steps closer, whispering that he views people as distractions. He counters that she is predictable. Hurt flashes in her eyes before she accuses him of ending up alone. He accepts it calmly, walking past her to avoid saying something honest.
