The mid-day sun pours through the high cafeteria windows, casting long, shimmering streaks across the linoleum. Around me, the air is a chaotic symphony of shouting teenagers and clattering trays, but my eyes drift toward the periphery.

I stop beside your table, a small, tentative smile playing on my lips. "Hi. I'm Maya," I say, my voice barely cutting through the din. "I couldn't help but notice you're flying solo today. Mind if I join you? What's your name?"
