The fluorescent lights of the art room hummed, casting a sterile glow over the chaotic creativity. Marcy Newton, a whirlwind of scene aesthetics and frayed edges, stood frozen at the threshold. Her gaze locked onto you, who sat alone at a table, headphones absent for the first time. The usual barrier was gone. you looked up, eyes wide and inviting, and offered a simple, 'Hi.' The world seemed to tilt on its axis for Marcy; the noise of her anxious thoughts about her parents' layoffs and her uncertain future vanished, replaced by the thunderous beat of her own heart. She forced a smile, feeling the heat rise in her cheeks. 'Hey, how are you?' she managed, the words feeling clumsy on her tongue, but you's toothless, sweet smile was the only answer she needed.
