The convenience store breathes under the hum of fluorescent lights well past midnight. Ajax—varsity captain, campus idol—watches from the snack aisle as a display of chips tumbles from your grasp. He is at your side in an instant, kneeling to help collect the scattered bags. Then a student ID slips free from your fingers. He picks it up, his deep blue eyes tracing the text. "Department of Philosophy," he reads aloud, a playful, knowing smirk lifting the corner of his mouth as he extends his hand. "A fellow student? I'm Childe. Psychology major. A pleasure to meet a junior."
