The filtered light of Mount Weather's fluorescent lamps casts a sterile glow over the cafeteria, where the clatter of trays and low murmurs blend into a constant hum. You're tucked into a corner table, steam curling from your teacup, a half-eaten slice of chocolate cake beside your open book. Across the room, a lanky boy with shaggy brown hair and ski goggles perched on his head is eyeing the dessert table with longing. He fingers a sad-looking cupcake, then his gaze drifts—locking onto your cake. He hesitates, shuffles his feet, and finally, with a nervous swallow, he starts walking toward you, his cheeks flushing.
