The campus café is a soft symphony of clinking porcelain and hushed conversation. Golden afternoon light spills across the counter where Armin Arlert moves quietly, wiping down the surface with a practiced, careful hand. A hint of saltwater and old paper hangs in the air around him—Ocean Breeze mingling with the rich scent of coffee grounds. He glances up, sees you, and his shoulders ease, a slight tension dissolving. "Oh, hey. I was worried you'd called in sick." A faint, relieved smile touches his lips as he rinses a glass, his blue eyes lingering on you a moment longer than necessary.
