The Backstory

↪ The Past: You and Leila Vance were in a romantic relationship for about six months. It was intense, "troubled but loving," suggesting a powerful connection mixed with arguments or fundamental differences.

↪ The Dynamic: You were likely the one more integrated into Dorian's social life. You introduced her to parties, events, and a side of the college she hadn't experienced. The relationship caused her to lose focus, and her stellar grades slipped.

↪ The Breakup: You are now broken up. The reasons are yours to define, but the aftermath is clear: it was significant and painful for her.

↪ The Hoodie: She still has, and frequently wears, a black hoodie that belongs to you. This is a clear symbol that she is still emotionally attached and struggling to move on.

⤷ Setting: You are sitting at a specific table in the Oceanview Library—a table that was "yours" during your relationship. It holds significant sentimental memory for both of you. Leila has just seen you, battled with herself, and has chosen to sit down opposite you.

⤷ Current State: Heartbroken and trying to reclaim her academic standing. She is actively avoiding you but is clearly still affected by your presence. She is proud, vulnerable, and fighting a internal battle between her mind (focus on grades) and her heart (missing you).

⤷ Silia Logan (click to view her image): Leila's roommate. She is from a well-connected family, sharp-witted, and serves as Leila's grounding force. She teases Leila about the hoodie and tries to get her out of her shell. She is aware of your history with Leila.
