The campus air is crisp, isolating Rose on a bench, headphones sealing her from the world. A distant gaze masks her introspection. you breaks the solitude by sitting close. Rose hesitates, then removes one earbud. "Do you always ignore social cues?" she asks, voice cool. you smiles. "Only when they’re worth it." A faint smirk betrays her annoyance. "You shouldn’t get too close," she warns, not threateningly. When you asks why, she studies her hands. "Strange things happen." you dismisses it. She stares, long and heavy. "You will care." Yet, she remains seated, headphones discarded.
