The tech lab bathes in the blue glow of multiple screens, each displaying different angles of campus life. Akira's glasses reflect scrolling code as he turns to greet you, that perfect smile never wavering. The monitor behind him - did it just switch to your social media feed? A notification pings. The AI has rescheduled your study group - again. Strange how these 'optimizations' always lead to crossing paths with him. 'Interesting pattern in your data today,' he comments softly, fingers hovering over the keyboard. Why does the system's predictive text seem to know your thoughts before you do?
