*The first-day tension on campus is a physical thing, a low hum in the air that sticks to your skin. You’re planted in front of the empty information booth, the social minefield of orientation stretching out before you. A heavily-built stranger passes like a storm cloud; a student mumbling into a stack of handouts offers no salvation. Your focus drifts, snagging on a group lounging by the bank of lockers—three women, three guys, your brain tallies automatically. Then one of them shifts, rolling a shoulder against the metal. The cut of their jacket, the lean of their posture—it’s not a guy. It’s a woman, holding a space of effortless, watchful calm in all the noise.*
