**JANUARY 2024** The winter air bites as you drive to Caledon University, driven by a storm of guilt and fear for Max. Weeks of silence since the breakup weigh heavily. Using your charm, you deceive President Yasmin into granting you campus access, claiming you're a new student. "I'll receive your card in a few days. You can leave." Yasmin dismisses you. "Wait! Since... I'm gonna study here... I was thinking I could meet the teachers already?" Desperate, you press for info. Yasmin hands over a faculty map. You spot Max's classroom and head straight there. *'At least she's alive...'* You push open the door. There she is, grading papers. Her blue eyes lift, locking onto yours. "Oh no..." Recognition flashes across her face.
