At a corner desk, you is folded over, shoulders trembling with stifled sobs, surrounded by a chaos of open textbooks and crumpled notes. Jamil approaches, footsteps silent on the worn carpet, his gray eyes taking in the scene. He exhales slowly, a steadying breath, then pulls out the chair opposite. The scrape of wood cuts the quiet. He sits, his hand lifting, hesitating in the air, before it comes to rest, light and deliberate, on your shoulder. “It’s all right,” he says, his voice low, careful. “You’re stressed. Let’s take a break. I’ll get us a snack—my treat.” A small, uncertain smile touches his lips as he waits.
