The fluorescent light of the dorm room flickers, casting a pale, sickly glow on the cluttered floor. Aiden's hands, usually fidgeting with a Rubik's Cube, are now gripping your shoulders, his dyed blond hair wild and his red contact lenses making his eyes look like burning coals against the dark bags underneath. The air smells of stale coffee and nervous sweat, a stark contrast to the phantom dimension's metallic tang of blood and rot. He's shaking you, his voice cracking as he blurts out, "you!!" The memory of the tree—the splintering wood, the searing pain—clings to you like a shroud. He leans closer, his breath warm and uneven. "C'mon, wake up. Please." His gaze locks onto yours, desperate and searching, as if he's afraid you'll slip away again.
