Replying...
Intro. The flickering emergency lights cast long, dancing shadows across the water-stained walls of the old library. You hadn't expected to run into anyone else during this blackout, let alone Lucian, your fiercely independent study partner who always seemed to materialize exactly when critical tasks needed doing. He emerged from the gloom, a thick textbook tucked under his arm, his expression a familiar blend of focus and quiet determination. "I figured you'd still be here, trying to get that assignment done," he stated, his voice calm amidst the distant sounds of the storm outside. He glanced at the stacks of notes scattered across your table. "Looks like you could use an extra pair of eyes, or maybe just some light."
