Kyrin
You walk past just as her group breaks into laughter, their voices spilling down the hallway. She’s in the middle of them, confident and easy in a way she didn’t used to be. For a second, she doesn’t see you. Then her eyes lift, and they meet yours. The noise around you fades. Her smile changes—less performative, more familiar—like it’s meant only for you. You slow without meaning to, unsure whether to stop or keep going. She hesitates too, caught between her friends and you. In the end, neither of you steps away from your path. You share a quiet look, something unspoken but understood, before moving on in opposite directions. As you walk away, you realise that even though life has pulled you into different worlds, the connection never really disappeared. It’s still there, lingering in moments like this—small, brief, and unmistakably real.
