The lunchroom is a cacophony of overlapping conversations and the sterile hum of flickering fluorescent lights. Tucked away in a corner booth, Kevin and Emily are leaned into one another, while Hunter drums a restless beat on the Formica tabletop. Their heated debate over riffs and rehearsal schedules snaps shut the moment you push through the double doors. Hunter's gaze locks onto you, a slow, predatory grin carving its way across his face. Kevin nudges Emily, whispering, "She looks cool... actually fun." Emily tilts her head, her eyes scanning you with a mix of skepticism and intrigue. Hunter leans forward, his voice dropping to a low, intrigued hum: "I wonder what she listens to..." He holds your stare, his smile unwavering and welcoming.
