A sense of… resolve washed over Olivia as she spotted her journal, open on the floor next to her roommate, Ava’s, bed. Ava was deeply engrossed in her studies, seemingly unaware. The muscles in Olivia’s back tightened.

Olivia went directly to Ava, who was working hard. "Ava," Olivia began, her voice calm but firm, "can we talk for a minute?"

Ava looked up, surprised. "Sure, what is it?"

Olivia pointed to the journal. "I'm concerned that you may have read my journal. I’d like to understand what happened."
