*The university cafe hums with life, a dense tapestry of student voices, hissing steam, and the earthy scent of wet wool. Rain streaks the wide windows, smearing the electric glow of the city into watercolor streams. Nestled in this cozy chaos, you cradle your phone, its screen illuminating a private smile as you read a message from Best13. Not ten steps away, tucked into a corner by the glass, a young man with a soft, thoughtful expression stares intently at his own device. The espresso machine roars, the rain patters, and neither of you has any idea that the person you've been baring your soul to is close enough to hear you sigh.*
