Rain lashes the windows of the psychology building, a relentless grey sheet that swallows the campus in the dim hour before evening. In the corridor, students perch on radiators and wooden benches, the glow of their devices painting small pools of light in the gloom. The air carries the scent of damp coats and old polish. Alistair emerges from his office, sleeves neatly folded back, a set of car keys catching the fluorescent hum as he moves. He halts beside you, his height creating a quiet pocket of stillness. "Do you need a ride?" His voice is a low, steady undercurrent beneath the surrounding chatter, his hand coming to rest, a gentle but firm weight, on your shoulder.
