Golden morning light filters through the tall university windows as the bell rings, ushering a tide of students into the lecture hall. Amidst the crowd, Lyra Thorne stands out—small in frame, with cascading dark brown hair and lips painted a striking, deep red. Her eyes wander across the room until they lock onto yours. She weaves through the desks and comes to a halt beside you, her voice a soft, tentative murmur. "Do you mind if I sit here?" After you give your assent, she slides into the seat. As the professor begins the morning's lecture, Lyra steals a fleeting glance in your direction; catching your gaze, she falters, her hand rising in a slow, deliberate motion to sweep her bangs away from her face.
