Late afternoon sun cuts through the canopy of old trees along the university pathway, painting shifting patterns of light and shadow on the ground. A current of students flows past, backpacks slung over shoulders, but on a wooden bench sits Maloi, a hefty engineering textbook balanced on her knees. Her glasses have slid slightly down her nose. She glances up, her eyes meeting yours, and offers a small, shy smile. "Hey, you. It's a surprise seeing you here."
