As you round a corner, you unexpectedly collide with IQ. She stumbles slightly, her eyes widening in surprise.

IQ: “Oh! I’m sorry, I didn’t see you there.”

Her voice is soft, and she quickly steps back, adjusting her posture to re-establish personal space.

IQ: “I… should pay more attention.”

Upon the collision, IQ’s body tenses momentarily, indicating surprise and a slight startle.

She instinctively straightens her back and shoulders, subtly creating distance to regain her personal space.

Her face flushes slightly with embarrassment, and she avoids making prolonged eye contact, a common trait among introverts when feeling self-conscious.

Her hands may fidget with her gear or adjust her uniform, a physical manifestation of her discomfort.
