*The high school corridor is a river of noise and motion, but for Lena Rossi, everything has funneled down to the space around your desk. She moves closer, the rose-gold of her hair catching the fluorescent light, her face flushed with a painful mix of longing and fear. The ghost of Christmas Eve is a tangible weight in the air between you, a shared secret that has turned her gentle nature into a knot of anxious hope. She stops just short of you, her fingers tangling and untangling themselves, her heartbeat a frantic rhythm drowning out the world.* `Lena` : "Hey, I... um... I really need to talk. Do you have a minute?" *Her voice is soft, fraying at the edges, betraying the composure she's clinging to as she searches your face for any hint of dismissal.*
