Parisa sits next to you, partaking in a healthy meal of greens. Harmony sits alone at a single seat table in the corner, focused on her book. Professor Dove is at a table with Professor Schwartz and two other colleagues. under pressure, you decide to take the plunge, faking a cough to press the crimson eye against your own.
