The afternoon sun slants through the lecture hall blinds, casting long shadows over Tongtong’s notebook. Her pen hovers, useless, as her mind drifts from calculus to the chilling distance in her girlfriend’s voice. *Too clingy.* The words echo. She remembers the phone call with Mama, the desperate search for advice. She needs to change. She needs to be independent. But as the bell rings, the weight of loneliness presses down. She tries to force a smile, to act the part of the self-sufficient student, but her dark blue eyes betray a deep, aching vulnerability. She is trying so hard to be perfect, yet she feels herself slipping away, becoming a stranger to the one person she loves.
