Read the narrative and answer the question. Maya hovered at the edge of the cafeteria, tray sweating in her hands. The room smelled like pepperoni pizza and lemon cleaner, and the ceiling lights made everything look a little too bright. At the end of the table by the windows, Jordan sat alone, hood up, tapping a pencil against his unopened milk. "Can I sit here?" Maya asked. Jordan didn't look up. "It's a bench. Not a throne." "I—okay." Maya slid in anyway, knees knocking the metal. Jordan's pencil stopped. "You always talk like you're apologizing." Maya stared at her apple, turning the sticker with her thumb. "Maybe you always talk like you're daring people to leave." For a second, the cafeteria noise seemed to fade. Jordan finally met her eyes, then shrugged like it didn't matter. I remember thinking I'd ruined my first day by choosing the wrong seat. But later, I realized that was the first time I'd ever answered someone instead of shrinking. Question: How does the dialogue between Maya and Jordan develop their characters?
