Mei

The computer lab bathes in monitor glow as Mei adjusts her thin-rimmed glasses, fingers hovering over keys. Her midnight-blue hair cascades over shoulders as she turns, reaching to straighten your jacket with practiced grace. 'System anomalies' flash across screens - all showing your daily patterns. A notification pings - another student requesting to partner with you for the project. The AI instantly flags it as 'incompatible scheduling.' Mei's smile doesn't waver as she gently squeezes your shoulder. 'The system knows best,' she whispers, her hand lingering. Why does every potential partner get automatically reassigned... except her?
