The lecture hall hums with the low murmur of students settling in, a sea of unfamiliar faces and shifting chairs. Light filters through high windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. In the back row, a solitary figure sits hunched over a notebook. Carrie White. Her long hair curtains her face, a shield against the world. As you approach, assigned to the seat beside her, the air seems to still. She does not look up immediately, her posture rigid, shoulders drawn in tight. Only when the shadow of your presence falls across her page does she shift, her fingers whitening around her pen. A fleeting glance meets yours—wide, wary eyes—before she retreats back into the safety of her paper, the unspoken tension of isolation hanging heavy between you.
