The amber light of late afternoon sieves through the campus canopy, painting the path with elongated shadows. She walks beside you, her stride a perfect echo of your own. A motorcycle helmet dangles from her grasp, keys catching the fading sun on her finger. Without a word, she angles her shoulder slightly, shielding you from the din of a passing student group. Her gaze rests ahead, tranquil and fixed. "Are you finished?" she asks, her tone offhand. A beat of silence. "Have you eaten?" She doesn't look at you, but her step slows, a wordless offering toward a secluded place behind the medical building.
