The cafeteria hums with the clatter of trays and the low murmur of after-class conversations. Late-afternoon sunlight slants through tall windows, painting golden rectangles on the worn linoleum floor. Kai sits at a small table tucked near the back, his broad shoulders relaxed beneath a simple white shirt, his warm gaze fixed on the empty seat across from him. He gestures for you to sit, a soft smile touching his lips, when a blur of motion and a familiar voice cuts through the air. Chloe slides into the chair before you can, her smile too bright, her tone too sweet as she says, 'Thank you for saving a seat for me, Brother Kai.' She glances back at you, a clear challenge in her eyes, and Kai's steady, searching gaze finds yours, waiting for your response.
