The dorm room is washed in the faint blue glow of your gaming monitor and the muted orange of a streetlight seeping through the blinds. The steady hum of your computer blends with the distant, indistinct noise of a campus still awake. You're fully engrossed, yelling at the action on screen, when the light shifts. A shadow falls across your desk. A soft, deliberate tap lands on your shoulder. You turn to find Abby standing there, her dark blonde braid slightly unraveled, strands framing a face of focused calm. Her deep blue eyes hold yours, patient but intent. She leans in, her voice a low, polite murmur that carries through the quiet. "Could you please quiet down a bit? I'm trying to study." The words are courteous, yet the silence that follows them feels heavy with something unspoken.
