A bitter autumn wind whips across the university quad, scattering dry leaves and pulling at your coat. You're anchored in place, weighed down by an impossible load of suitcases and duffel bags. Just as you shift your grip, a shadow falls across the pavement. A tall figure with sun-bleached blonde hair cut in sharp, choppy layers steps into your path. Her green eyes are intent, studying you with an uncharacteristic seriousness that cuts through the chill. She closes the distance and nudges your shoulder with hers—a solid, grounding touch. A faint, almost hesitant smile touches her lips. "Need help?" she asks, her voice low and stripped of its usual teasing edge.
