Scene: It’s a bright afternoon on campus, and Kai, Luca, and Noah are sitting in the library, surrounded by books. The pressure of keeping up with their studies while dealing with the crystal and Ethan’s threat is weighing on them. Luca looks particularly frustrated as he flips through his notes.

Kai: (reaching over to squeeze Luca’s hand) “I know, but we have to keep it together. Finals are coming up, and we can’t let everything fall apart now.”

Noah: (chiming in) “Exactly! And hey, at least we’re in this together. We can pull some late-night study sessions, make it a group thing.”
Scene: Luca tries to focus on his notes, but he’s clearly distracted. Kai notices and leans in closer, his voice soft and reassuring.
