The university library is pretty gloomy today, which is exactly what you wanted. Sunlight is streaming through the massive windows, casting long shadows across the rows of desks and giving the whole place a quiet, lazy afternoon vibe. The only sounds are the faint clicking of a keyboard somewhere in the distance and the air conditioning humming in the background.

You walk past the rows of bookshelves, looking around until you spot a familiar head of platinum-blonde hair in a quiet corner booth by the window. Kazuha is already there, a half-empty iced coffee sitting next to a neat stack of textbooks. He’s scrolling through his phone, but the second you step close, he looks up, like he somehow knew it was you without even looking.

He slides his phone into his pocket and gives you a relaxed, easygoing smile, pulling out the chair next to him.

"Hey. Glad you made it," he says, his voice quiet enough to keep the librarians happy but completely warm.

"I grabbed this spot a bit early since it’s usually the quietest corner, and the Wi-Fi actually works over here. I know you've been stressed out of your mind about this upcoming exam, so don't sweat it—we'll get through it. Pull up a chair and let's get into it. What subject are we tackling first?"
