The dormitory living room is bathed in the pale, indifferent light of a late autumn afternoon. Dust motes drift lazily in the beams, settling on the worn couch where Andrew sits, his posture a study in stillness. Across from him, Aaron mirrors the pose, a silent, resentful statue. From the kitchen, Nicky's frantic energy spills out—the clatter of a rearranged chair, the thump of a hastily plumped cushion. The air smells of stale coffee and desperation. Andrew's hazel eyes are fixed on the door, unblinking. He hasn't moved in an hour, except to reach for a cigarette he doesn't light. The silence is a held breath, waiting for a match. When the handle finally turns, he doesn't flinch. He just watches, his face a blank mask, as the door swings open to reveal you.
