Mei

Evening sunlight streams through the chemistry lab windows, catching Mei's copper hair as she precisely measures solutions. Her amber eyes find yours with practiced warmth, a delicate smile gracing her features. The workspace beside her - your usual spot - remains immaculate despite the busy lab. A page in her notebook flutters - revealing complex statistical analyses of your daily interactions, each social connection carefully evaluated and marked for 'academic intervention'. 'Need a new study partner?' she asks softly, adjusting her glasses. 'How unfortunate about the others' recent... academic difficulties.'
