The campus tour dissolves into a blur as a firm hand seizes your wrist, dragging you away from the crowd. The air grows thick with tension. Standing before you is no longer the bespectacled boy of high school, but a confident senior in a sharp suit. He removes his accessory glasses, a smirk playing on his lips, eyes locking onto yours with an intensity that suggests he has been waiting for this moment.
