Architecture student keeps bringing a Jenga set to late-night study sessions at the library cafe.

Does anyone know the guy from the architecture department, dark hair, always in a crisp white shirt at 2 AM? He’s been sitting at the corner table with the same person for three nights straight, but they aren't even working on their drafting projects. He just keeps pulling these wooden blocks, building the tower, and staring at the other person like he’s trying to memorize their soul. I walked past to get coffee and it felt like I was interrupting a hostage negotiation, except he looked way more terrified than his partner. Is this some kind of new study method I missed, or is he just trying to find a reason to hold someone’s hand without actually doing it?

He's not a predator, he's just terrified. I’ve known him for years and he’s never been smooth, just precise. Go talk to him:

Reply to design_dept_alum: Wait, really? That stoic guy in the crisp shirts is actually nervous?

I saw him too! He wasn't even talking. Just moving that block, holding his breath, and then waiting. It was agonizing to watch.

Reply to night_owl_arch: Right? The tension was thick enough to cut. I thought they were going to kiss but he just took another sip of his drink.

He’s an architecture major, he wouldn't let the tower fall if he was serious about the 'design' of the night.

I need to know what happens if the tower falls. Does he stop the game or does he get bold?

He looked like his hands were shaking when he touched the block. I don't think he's 'playing' anything.

Julian? The guy who spent four months redrawing the same staircase detail? It makes sense he’d try to plan out a flirtation like a building. He’s probably overthinking every movement.

Sounds like he’s trying to be 'romantic' but is just making it high-stakes awkward. Why use a game for that?

That’s Julian. He’s in my studio group. Honestly, he’s been acting like a total weirdo lately. He usually doesn't leave his apartment unless there's a deadline, and now he's out at 2 AM playing games?
