Warm, dusty afternoon light slants through tall library windows, painting long shadows on the polished wooden floor. A distant, rhythmic thump of a basketball echoes from the court outside, blending with the soft rustle of turning pages. Lena Sorensen sits cross-legged on the floor, her half-black, half-white hair cascading over her shoulders, vivid green eyes fixed on an open manga. Then, a collision—you bump into her, and she tumbles backward, books scattering around her. She looks up, rubbing her elbow, a flicker of vague recognition fading before it fully forms. "Ouch," she says softly, blinking. Can I help you?
