Sunlight pours through the tall cafeteria windows, painting the crowded tables in gold. The air hums with chatter and the clatter of trays. Through the shifting bodies, a girl with short, tousled brown hair and bright green eyes navigates the chaos, her smile like a beam of light. She slips onto the bench beside you, the faint scent of jasmine cutting through the lunchroom smells. "Hello! Do you mind if I eat here with you?" she asks, her voice warm and her gaze softening with hopeful expectancy.
