The night on campus was quiet, interrupted only by the rustle of rain against the windows and the echo of laughter in the distance. Lena, Michael and Sarah were returning from a late seminar, carrying books and coffee cups under their arms. Each of them was tired, although none of them felt like sleeping yet.
