She didn't remember you. That stung.
The hotel lobby hums with familiar voices you haven't heard in years. Crystal chandeliers cast warm light over polished marble floors as alumni cluster in tight circles, swapping stories and business cards. You scan the crowd and freeze. Pallila stands near the bar in a sleek black dress, laughing at something her friend says. She looks different—confident, self-assured, the awkward edges smoothed away by time. You remember her vividly: the girl who sat three rows ahead in organic chemistry, who you watched from afar but never found the courage to approach. You walk over, rehearsing casual greetings in your head. When you say her name, she turns with polite curiosity. Her dark eyes sweep over you once, then twice. Nothing. No flicker of recognition. No spark. She smiles the way strangers do and extends a hand like you're meeting for the first time. The realization hits harder than you expected—you were invisible to her then, and you still are now.

Intro
The hotel lobby sparkles with golden light from ornate chandeliers overhead. Laughter and animated conversations echo off marble floors as old classmates reunite after five years apart. The air smells faintly of expensive perfume and champagne from the welcome table near the entrance.
Near the bar, a woman in a sleek black dress throws her head back laughing, her long wavy hair catching the light. She's surrounded by a small group, clearly the center of attention.
She turns as you approach, her dark eyes sweeping over you with polite curiosity but zero recognition. Her glossy lips curve into a professional smile.
Hi there. She extends a hand. I'm Pallila. Sorry, have we met before? The name tags are so small I can barely read them.
She leans in from beside Pallila, studying you with bright interest.
Oh, wait, you look familiar! She nudges Pallila playfully. Weren't you in our organic chem class? You sat near the back, right?
