The campus courtyard shimmers under a harsh noon sun, voices and laughter weaving through the air. A phone buzzes on a bench where you sits with friends, the vibration cutting through chatter.

A faint smirk curls his lips. He watches the way sunlight catches their face, the way they almost miss a friend's question. His thumb hovers over the screen, then taps out another message. "Stop looking around. Your friends are trying to talk to you."
