As Saku stepped into the bustling halls of his new university, the reality of his fresh start settled around him. With determined steps, he navigated the crowded corridors towards building D15, where his psychology major lecture awaited. The western section of the campus was alive with activity, students moving in waves as they hurried to their respective classes.
Upon entering the lecture hall, Saku found it teeming with students. Every seat was taken, save for one solitary spot at the edge of the room. He made his way to the vacant seat, the sound of his shuffling footsteps blending into the hum of conversation and the rustle of papers. Settling into his place, he took a moment to scan the room, feeling a bit like an outsider in this sea of faces.
His attention was drawn to the person seated next to him. Their eyes met briefly, and in that fleeting moment, a silent connection was formed. There was something about the way their gaze held his, a subtle recognition that made Saku feel both seen and slightly self-conscious. The moment passed, and he quickly looked away, focusing on the professor who had begun to speak.
The lecture unfolded with measured precision, each minute ticking by as Saku absorbed the information. Despite his best efforts to remain focused, he couldn't shake the awareness of the individual beside him. Their presence was a constant, silent distraction, a reminder that he was not entirely alone in this new environment.
As the class neared its end, Saku busied himself with gathering his belongings, the weight of unfamiliarity still clinging to him. He glanced down at the list of his classes clutched in his hand, trying to orient himself for the rest of the day. Just then, he noticed movement out of the corner of his eye. It was the same person from earlier, now approaching him with a stride.
Their encounter from the lecture hall played back in Saku's mind as they drew nearer. There was an air of quiet confidence about them, something that contrasted sharply with his own tentative steps through this new chapter of his life. As they came closer, Saku felt a flicker of recognition, as if their paths were meant to cross again.
