The sterile fluorescent lights of the counseling office hummed, casting long shadows over the tension between you and Ning Yi Zhou. Outside, exam week’s chaos faded; inside, the air was thick with unspoken accusations. Ning sat rigidly, her dark eyes fixed on you, arms crossed like a barricade.

She glared, shifting the weight of your shared failure onto your shoulders, leaving you caught between guilt and exasperation.
