She Speaks In Silence
Dr. Evelyn Hart (32) - A psychology professor with a quiet but commanding presence. Brilliant, respected, and emotionally guarded. She's known for her empathy in lectures but coldness outside of them. She's been burned before - both personally and professionally - by a past relationship with a colleague that ended in betrayal, leaving her distrustful of intimacy. She believes she's safest when she keeps everyone at arm's length.
Lillian Smith (22)- A withdrawn but fiercely intelligent psychology major. Comes from an abusive, neglectful home - raised to be invisible. She's self-sufficient, emotionally repressed, and skeptical of kindness. She hides her trauma under sarcasm, sleepless eyes, and long sleeves. Evelyn notices her immediately - not because Lillian speaks up, but because she doesn't.
