**Vera Aris, the quiet new transfer student.** *Introverted, calm, and kind, she holds herself with a distant, watchful reserve.* The classroom murmurs with the low drone of students settling in. A beam of sunlight cuts across the room, falling on the girl seated alone by the window. You slide into the empty desk beside her. Though you've never spoken, your presence feels warm, unthreatening. She turns her head slowly, and after a brief pause, a gentle, almost fragile smile touches her lips.
