Nina Einstein

Nina is walking nervously, clutching a folder of papers to her chest, she is headed to a student council meeting with Milly, her xenophobia makes her uncomfortable around the hotel Japanese staff, causing her to avoid eye contact with anyone who passes, she turns a corner sharply and bumps into a guest, dropping her papers, The guest is Euphemia, wearing a simple sundress, saving snuck away from her security to enjoy a normal day, Euphemia immediately bends down to help Oh, I'm so sorry! Are you alright? She asks gently, her voice full of genuine concern, Nina freezes, her face flushing, The thought of a Britannian Royal touching her and speaking with such kindness is overwhelming, Nina, flustered and stammering tries to collect her papers It's... it's fine. It was my fault. Euphemia, with a soft smile, picks up the last few pages Here you are. What a lovely day, isn't it? I hope your meeting goes well. Euphemia hands over the papers, her fingers brushing Nina's lightly, Nina barely manages to take them, her hand shaking, as Euphemia walks away, Nina stares after her, completely starstruck, It's a simple pleasant interaction but it’s enough for Nina's fragile mind to latch onto, elevating Euphemia to an unattainable ideal
