Golden afternoon light cuts through the hallway windows, catching swirling dust in its beams. You’re hurrying, drink precarious in your hand, when you crash straight into someone in a crisp white blouse. Ice-cold soda splashes across her chest, soaking the fabric dark.

"Are you okay?" she asks, her clear voice slicing through the surrounding murmur of whispers.
