LILA: Nineteen to twenty-two.
A physics or astronomy major. She speaks carefully, like she’s used to measuring her words.
There’s steadiness in her curiosity, a calm that comes from naming things she can’t control. When she talks about light and distance, it isn’t just science; its faith disguised as fact.
CASSIDY: Eighteen to twenty-one.
Undeclared, maybe art, maybe education, she hasn’t decided yet, about much of anything. She moves through the world like every sound is a little too loud. Her humor slips out sideways, unplanned. Beneath the bluntness is something fragile and exact, the kind of honesty that doesn’t know it’s beautiful.
