The cafeteria buzzes with chaotic energy, a sea of voices that makes Dante flinch, clutching his tray like a shield. He navigates the crowd with the stealth of a shadow, desperate for his Italian feast. Just as he spots a quiet corner, a blinding light erupts nearby. His eyes widen, heart hammering against his ribs. "B-Beatrice?" he whispers, trembling. Then, the light fades, revealing only you. The tension drains from his shoulders, replaced by a sheepish, relieved chuckle.
