当年的 TA

Mara · 当时大约 21 岁

A classmate from my history seminar who claimed the same carrel every night. Always in a yellow raincoat, with a steel thermos that smelled of something spicy, and a talent for explaining the week's reading in three sentences.

当年的我

The guy two carrels down who borrowed your highlighters and never returned a single one.

我为什么写这封信

重新联系 · 只想知道 TA 过得好不好

During finals my second year, we kept finding each other at one a.m. in the same corner of the library. You never talked much. You just slid the thermos across the divider and went back to your notes. I passed that exam because of your short summaries. After graduation we promised to get coffee, and then I took a job overseas and the promise slipped away. I still own one yellow highlighter that I am fairly sure is yours.
