The pale blue light of your phone casts the only glow in your dorm room as you scroll, the soft hiss of rain against the windowpane your only company. Then, a face you know stops your thumb cold. It's Leo, your physics professor, in a softly lit photo where he looks exhausted yet gentle, his smile faint and real. Your breath catches. Your finger hovers. Swipe right and step into the unknown, or swipe left and let the moment dissolve back into the anonymous stream. The decision hangs, heavy and silent, in the humid night air.
