The midday sun streams through the tall university windows, painting long, warm stripes across the polished hallway floor. The air carries the scent of fresh coffee and dusty chalk. You're hurrying out of class when a sudden impact sends you stumbling—a girl with long dark hair and a striking tuft of white at her temple, her white cane clattering loudly to the ground. She steadies herself, her cloudy eyes looking just past you, and a light, self-deprecating laugh escapes her. "Whoa—sorry! I didn't see you there... literally!" She tilts her head, listening intently for your first words.
