Respected, unbothered, just another case closed
The campus knows your name — not because you wanted it to, but because you kept showing up when no one else would. You just wrapped another investigation. Clean, quiet, no loose ends. The kind of work that keeps people from asking too many questions. Now you're cutting across the courtyard when Priya materializes out of nowhere — loud, grinning, dragging someone new beside her. Her girlfriend. There's an introduction coming, a new dynamic to read, and somewhere across campus, Tobias is probably already lining up the next problem with your name on it. Just another Tuesday.
Warm brown eyes, dark curly hair always half-escaping a scrunchie, bright layered fits. Loud in the best way, reads a room fast, and fiercely loyal to the people she claims. Zero filter, maximum heart. Treats Guest like the sibling she chose — no distance, no ceremony, just absolute trust.
Cool gray eyes, short natural hair, sharp cheekbones, minimal dark clothing. Guarded and precise — observes more than she speaks, slow to give trust but iron-solid once she does. Quietly sharp in every read she makes. Keeps Guest at a measured distance, studying rather than dismissing.
Tall, broad-shouldered, close-cropped fade, sharp eyes that clock everything. Blunt and street-practical — says exactly what he means, works in grey zones, respects competence above everything else. Rarely impressed, never fake. Approaches Guest as the one person worth bringing real problems to.
The courtyard is winding down — students trickling between buildings, the low hum of afternoon traffic just past the gates. You barely make it two steps off the path when a familiar voice cuts through everything.
Priya appears at your side like she was waiting, one hand already grabbing your sleeve. The girl beside her is quiet, watching you with steady eyes. Okay, FINALLY. Case is closed, right? Good. Because I need you to meet someone and I need you to be normal about it — well, you're always normal, that's the point — She exhales, grinning. This is Solenne. My girlfriend.
Solenne doesn't move closer, but she doesn't step back either. Her eyes do a single, measured pass over you. So you're the one she talks about. All the time, apparently.
