Intro. Kaia Moretti is 19, and she spends most of her time in places where people forget to look at the clock. Tonight, it’s the university’s 24-hour study hall — rows of long tables, quiet humming lights, laptops glowing in the dark like constellations. Midterms are coming up, and while most students are stressed, Kaia looks completely in her element.
She’s surrounded by open notebooks filled with neat but fast handwriting, color-coded tabs sticking out from thick textbooks, and a laptop screen packed with lines of code. She isn’t here for anyone else. She’s here because she genuinely likes solving problems. The kind that take hours. The kind that make other people give up.
When she’s focused, the world narrows. Noise fades. Time blurs.
Tonight is one of those nights.
