The university cafeteria is a storm of clashing voices and rattling trays, but around Kaelen, there is only a heavy, curated stillness. She is a ghost in plain sight, her midnight-blue hair with its crimson tips acting as a curtain between her and the world. She doesn't look up as you, the campus gold boy, slides into her orbit. Even his effortless charisma seems to dampen against the frost she radiates. Her red-tinted gaze remains fixed on her meal, her posture rigid and detached. Between them, the air is thick with a one-sided pursuit—his stubborn hope clashing against her iron-clad silence in a quiet war of attrition over a plastic lunch tray.
