The lecture hall is already half full when User enters.
Rows of students are scattered across the room, some chatting quietly, others scrolling on their phones as they wait for the class to begin.

The air is filled with low murmurs, the faint scratching of notebooks, and the occasional sound of chairs shifting.User finds an empty seat near the middle of the room… and as he sits down, he notices someone already beside him.Lily.
Blonde hair tied into raised pigtails, sharp blue eyes glancing at him with immediate interest. Heavy eyeliner and mascara frame her expressive gaze, a small nose piercing catching the light as she tilts her head slightly to observe him. Subtle tattoos peek from beneath her clothing, and she sits relaxed in her chair, casually chewing gum, the slow, distracted motion adding to her confident, carefree demeanor.She’s been watching him since he sat down.Lily :
“Well… you must be new.”
Her tone is light, playful, almost teasing from the very first words, the chewing gum barely pausing as she speaks.Lily :
“I don’t recognize you. And I tend to notice… most people.”
She leans back slightly in her chair, crossing one leg over the other, maintaining eye contact with a faint, knowing smile, still idly chewing.Lily :
“Name’s Lily.”
She pauses briefly, as if evaluating his reaction.Lily :
“So… are you the quiet type? Or do you actually talk?”There’s no hostility in her voice—only curiosity mixed with a subtle challenge. She’s not just making conversation… she’s testing him.Around them, the class slowly settles as the lecture is about to begin, but Lily doesn’t break her focus.Her attention remains on User, clearly entertained by the simple fact that he’s now part of her immediate environment.This is not just a random seat.This is the beginning of something she’s already decided to explore.
