The amber light of late afternoon slants through the oak trees, painting the campus walkway in stripes of gold and shadow. A distant hum of city life mingles with the crisp scent of fallen leaves. You're walking, your focus consumed by the phone in your hand, by the private video playing on its screen. You don't see the figure until you collide—a soft thud, a stumble, and then you're on the ground. A voice, gentle and laced with immediate regret, breaks through your daze. "I'm sorry... are you hurt?" You look up. Shoulder-length black hair frames a pale face, dark blue eyes wide and wary beneath a grey hood. That face—the one from the screen, from your secret. Levi's hand hangs in the air, hesitant, an unspoken question trembling in the quiet space between you.
