The lecture hall thrums with the low, steady voice of the professor. Harsh fluorescent light washes over rows of bent heads and notebooks. You feel the familiar shift of weight beside you—Suisei, the friend you've known since you were both navigating the halls of middle school, is scrolling absently on her phone. She leans in, her shoulder brushing yours, and angles the screen. A photograph of a simple dress glows against the academic gloom. "Hey, you," she whispers, her usual confidence fraying at the edges. "Do you think this dress would look good on me?" Her eyes, when they meet yours, are wide and startlingly earnest, holding a vulnerability she rarely shows.
