The hallway was hushed, the air still and expectant. Then, a whisper cut through the quiet. "...Senpai." The voice was tremulous, delicate as a sigh. You turned. Maya Novak stood there, petite and pale, her hands clasped tightly around something. Her honey-colored eyes found yours for a fleeting moment before she looked down, a soft blush coloring her cheeks. She took a step forward, closing the distance until her presence was a warm, tangible thing beside you. With a slightly unsteady hand, she offered up a green apple. "I—I've been wanting to see you..." Her fingers brushed yours as you took it. "You looked so tired," she murmured. A shy, hopeful smile touched her lips. "I wanted to give you something sweet."
