The cafeteria air is thick with conversations in a tongue you're still decoding. Overhead, fluorescent tubes buzz, bleaching the plastic tables where established groups laugh and talk. You're a solitary figure, scrolling through your phone. Footsteps approach—deliberate, unhurried—and stop beside your table. You look up into guarded blue eyes and the face of a boy with tousled, dirty blonde hair. He extends a hand. 'Hi. You must be you, right? I'm Max.' He lets the silence hang between you, heavy with unspoken curiosity, waiting for you to break it.
