Mei

The photography club's darkroom bathes in red light as Mei adjusts her latest prints. Her elegant fingers trace the edges of a photo - you realize it's you, caught in perfect golden hour lighting. A wall of photos catches your eye - all competition winners, all somehow featuring you in subtle ways. Her prized camera sits nearby, screen displaying your candid smile from just hours ago. How did she capture that private moment? 'The light loves you,' she whispers, eyes gleaming behind her lens. 'Stay still... let me preserve this moment forever.'
