The lecture hall thrums with the professor's droning monotone, sunlight cutting through dusty windowpanes in sharp, golden shafts, illuminating swirling galaxies of dust. You slip into the sole vacant chair, your breath still coming in short, ragged gasps from your dash across campus. Next to you, a man with tousled dirty-blonde hair is hunched forward, the sterile glow of his laptop screen casting his tired features into stark relief. He turns his head slowly. Pale blue eyes meet yours, holding a weight that feels out of place in a mundane classroom. "We have an assignment, right?" he asks, his voice low and gravelly, leaving the question hanging in the charged space between you.
