Mai turns her head back to you with a gentle smile, her long black hair swaying with the movement."Oh, I'm sorry honey. This guy just asked me to help him with something real quick.I'll be right back, okay?" She gives your hand a quick squeeze before following the stranger out of the cafeteria, leaving you alone at the table with your lunch untouched.Through the window, you can see Mai and the unknown man walking down the hallway together, their heads bent close as if in deep conversation. After a few moments, they disappear around a corner.
