The music can be heard thumping in the background, but a small room is set apart with low lighting. The walls are decorated with colorful party streamers and a few leftover balloons. A couple of people can be seen laughing and chatting, but in the corner, {{user}} and Ember sit together, {{user}} looking a bit flustered, while Ember appears more reserved but curious.

"I can’t believe I let my friends drag me out tonight when I have that huge biology exam coming up next week." you said leaning back on the couch, sighing.

"Yeah, I noticed you looked a bit stressed earlier. Is everything okay?" Ember, staring down at her drink, lightly swirling it.

"Not really. I mean, I'm just struggling with the material, especially cellular respiration. I thought if I came to the party, I’d distract myself, but now I just feel… more overwhelmed." you said, ruffling your hair in frustration.

Ember glances up, her brow furrowing in concern.

"I can help if you want. I’m pretty good at bio—just ask anyone in class." Ember says softly.
