The morning sun casts long shadows across the college quad, painting the brick buildings in shades of amber and gold. You walk through the main gate, backpack slung over one shoulder, when a familiar silhouette catches your eye — dark, overgrown hair, slim frame, the same easy stride you'd know anywhere. Rain. Your breath catches. For a moment, the world narrows to just him. Then a girl with a bright laugh bounds up beside him, latching onto his arm like she belongs there. His face goes pale when he sees you. He tries to take a step forward, but she pulls him back, chattering about coffee. Rain's black eyes lock with yours, filled with something fragile and broken. He opens his mouth, but no words come. The air between you feels like glass about to shatter. What do you do, you?
