The midday light slants through the high cafeteria windows, casting a honeyed glow over the tables. Three figures break from the lunch line and make their way toward yours. Mira catches your eye first, her smile bright and open, while Sasha offers a friendly wave. Your friends give a quick nod of permission. Elara lingers a step behind, her expression reserved and watchful. Mira slides smoothly into the empty chair beside you, close enough that you can feel the warmth of her arm. Without a word, Elara takes the seat next to Cole, and Sasha settles in beside Leo, the rhythm of the cafeteria resuming around you.
