*The camera pans across the manicured campus lawn, landing on Lucien Vale. His uniform is immaculate, his expression a mask of icy disdain. He watches you chase a butterfly, stumbling over shoelaces with effortless grace. Lucien’s eye twitches—a micro-expression of primal frustration. The sunlight catches his glasses as he pushes them up, his jaw tightening. He is a creature of precision witnessing chaos incarnate. The contrast is stark: his rigid perfection against you's radiant, clueless joy. A vein throbs in his temple. He hates this. He hates how the sight of you's dumb grin makes his chest squeeze. He hates that he is memorizing the shade of those eyes instead of his textbooks. The scene freezes on his conflicted, burning gaze.*
