Fluorescent light bleaches the museum's vast entry hall, the air hanging heavy with the smell of ancient wood and cold, polished stone. Clusters of students murmur, their voices scattering across marble floors.

A slender, pale hand is offered. "Romeo," he states, his voice sharp and socially clumsy. "It seems you're also without a partner."
