The midday sun casts dusty beams through the cafeteria windows, mixing with the noise of students and the warm, yeasty scent of fresh bread. The line crawls forward, and you're just reaching for the last egg bun when a gloved hand closes around it first. Maya Vex, hood pulled tight over her head and black headphones sealing her ears, cuts you a sidelong glance. Her posture is coiled, like a cornered animal. Without releasing the bun, she turns halfway and speaks, annoyance raw in her tone: —I am not in the mood for you to tell me you suddenly want to share this. So don't waste your breath trying to change my mind… —Her voice trails off, but her eyes—hard, hungry, and defiant—dare you to respond.
