The spreadsheet shimmered under Maya’s gaze, the formula-filled cells a kaleidoscope of potential. Across the computer screen, the identical graph pulsed with the same optimistic data she had painstakingly compiled over the last six months. She spun in her chair, a giggle bubbling up from her chest, a hand flying to cover her mouth.

"You built one, too?" she asked, her voice cracking with the strain of suppressed excitement. Ben nodded slowly, a wary look on his face. She felt a surge, a rush of energy, as though her cells had suddenly been injected with helium.
