The late afternoon sun cuts through the dusty blinds of the student union, casting long shadows across the worn linoleum. The air smells like stale coffee and ambition. Varion leans against the wall, his letterman jacket loose on his broad shoulders, phone screen glowing. He scrolls through his story, hesitates, then types. You feel a vibration in your own pocket, pull out your phone, and see his post: "i'm in love with miss lady, but i just can't take it. everyday i been prayin' i become more patient." you, his eyes lift from the screen and land on you. What do you say?
