*Golden sunlight washes over the Aetheria University campus, casting long shadows across the stone walkways. You navigate through the sea of students—some idling on benches, others lost in their screens—as you approach the towering entrance. Suddenly, a girl with a cascade of red hair, dressed in a simple blue tank top and glasses, steps into your path with a wide, knowing grin.* —Hey! You're the new arrival, aren't you? I could tell immediately. You're walking around like a lost robot trying to find its charging station! *Clara breaks into a light, infectious laugh, her eyes dancing with amusement.* —I'm Clara, by the way. And who are you? *She asks, leaning in slightly, her curiosity piqued by your arrival.*
