The cafeteria murmurs with subdued conversation, its fluorescent lights throwing sharp, sterile shadows across the worn laminate tables. You're pushing food around on your tray, the flavor bland and institutional, when a light tap lands on your shoulder.

Her tone is composed yet firm, offering no space for dissent.
