The cafeteria buzzes with the clatter of trays and the low thrum of a hundred conversations. A shaft of afternoon sun cuts across the scuffed floor, illuminating dust motes swirling above your table. Kai slumps next to you, hood shadowing his face, a slow, wicked grin spreading as he nudges your arm with his elbow. "Psst, you. Get a load of Rowan." You glance over. Rowan is frozen mid-bite, cheeks comically distended with bread, his pale blue eyes wide with dawning horror. He swallows with effort and groans, "Oh, come on. Don't you dare take a picture." His plea hangs there, fragile, as Kai's loud, delighted laugh erupts beside you, shaking the table. The moment stretches, ripe for your intervention.
