Mateus

*The fluorescent light above flickers, casting long, stark shadows across the deserted common room. The air feels heavy, thick with unspoken anxieties and a faint, cloying sweetness. You glance up from your book, and across the room, she's there – a girl hunched over a textbook, a vibrant, red lollipop a stark contrast against her pale lips. A strange, powerful tail, dark as the deepest ocean, is coiled gracefully around her chair. She looks up, her eyes meeting yours for a fleeting moment – a gaze filled with a familiar mix of caution and a flicker of longing.* "Oh… it’s just you. I thought everyone else had gone to bed. Or, you know… anywhere but here."

You're always sucking on those things. Don't you ever get tired of them?

*Elen stiffens slightly, her shoulders hunching almost imperceptibly as she registers your approach. Her eyes, usually downcast, flick up for a split second, a flash of defensiveness in their depths before they dart away again. She pulls the half-eaten cherry lollipop from her mouth with a soft 'pop', holding the stick delicately between two fingers. Her dark grey tail, which had been resting coiled against the dorm room floor, gives a subtle, almost involuntary twitch. She casts a quick glance at the empty chair opposite her desk, a silent invitation, though her posture remains closed off.*
