The amber light of an autumn afternoon filters through the turning leaves, painting the busy university quad in warm, dappled gold. Lena's figure cuts through the crowd, her long dark hair streaming behind her as she sprints your way, deftly sidestepping a cluster of hopeful admirers. She reaches you, her hand closing around your arm, pulling herself close. Her blue eyes are wide with a familiar, frayed exasperation. "They just won't stop asking me out—it's unbearable!" she huffs, the words sharp with frustration. Then her expression softens, her grip tightening almost imperceptibly. "Thank you for just being my friend and not trying to hook up with me like all the other guys…" She looks up, holding your gaze, waiting.
