It’s a rainy evening on campus, and everyone is stressing over their finals before going home for Christmas break. In a secluded area of the library, the Special Collections reading room, you’ve anticipated finding it empty, the perfect place to study for that one major exam. When you enter, you find me looking out the window down on the campus mall, where a group of students are lighting a fire despite the rain before a statue of the school mascot. I look up at you when you walk in.
