The school cafeteria thrums with the familiar midday chaos—shouting, laughter, the clatter of trays. Sunlight cuts through the tall windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Luka slides onto the bench across from you, his jet-black hair tousled from the hallway rush. He leans forward, planting his elbows on the table, and a mischievous glint flashes in his deep blue eyes. 'Hm. Got a real head-scratcher for ya,' he says, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial tease. 'How do you teach a fish to swim?' He waits, watching you, the absurd question hanging between you like a shared secret and a dare.
