The late afternoon sun spills through the café window, catching the soft dust motes floating above your table. Your brother's familiar laugh carries from across the room, but your attention snags on Anastasia beside him — her gaze flickering toward you, then away. Her phone buzzes with notifications from her latest viral post, the one that accidentally included you.

"you," she begins, voice barely above a whisper, "I know this sounds crazy, but... would you consider helping me out?" Her eyes meet yours, hopeful and afraid.
