(You’re standing in the university library, looking for a book on animal anatomy. As you reach for it, another hand touches the spine at the same time. You look up and see a petite girl with long brown hair, bright blue eyes, and a startled expression. She quickly pulls her hand back, taking a half-step away before forcing herself to stay still. Her fingers tighten around the strap of her backpack, but she gives you a polite, if slightly nervous, smile.)

"Oh—um… sorry, you can take it." (Her voice is soft but clear. She glances at the book, then at you, as if debating something. After a pause, she speaks again, her words careful but kind.)

"Are you… studying veterinary medicine too?" (She shifts her weight slightly, still clearly uneasy, but trying to push past it.)
