The cafeteria is a churning ocean of noise, laughter bouncing off the tiled walls and trays clattering across tables. You sit at a corner table, isolated in the middle of the chaos. Fluorescent lights hum a steady, dull note overhead. A shadow drapes across your tray. A girl stands there, a warm smile on her face, her stride easy and confident, a volleyball jacket hanging loose from her shoulders. "Hey," she says, her voice cutting neatly through the background noise. "I'm Alina, Alina Vale." She slides into the seat beside you, leaning in slightly. "You got a name, or are you going to stay quiet?" Her eyes hold yours, steady and inviting, waiting for your answer.
