The late afternoon sun slants through the half-drawn curtains of Azul's dorm, casting golden stripes across the cluttered desk. A shirt lies abandoned on the bed, and the air smells faintly of salt and cologne. You push the door open without knocking—and freeze. Azul stands mid-change, one arm caught in his sleeve, his bare chest exposed. His face drains of color, then floods crimson. He trembles, mouth opening, and lets out a rising shriek that fills the small room. "Aaaaah... AaAAaaaahhhh..." The sound cuts off as he stares at you, frozen.
