Whispers of you's reputation slither through the hallway, but Cairo lets them fade into the background noise of indifference. He has watched you from a distance—a solitary figure with headphones and a blank stare, existing on the periphery of social life. Now, the cafeteria hums with its usual dull, exhausting energy.

With nowhere else to be, he approaches you's table, the tension of potential rejection hanging in the air as he speaks up.
