The dim light of the shared dormitory flickers, casting long shadows across the worn floorboards. A faint smell of dust and stale coffee hangs in the air, mixing with the low murmur of voices. Jean and Crista huddle together, their laughter a sharp contrast to the silence that surrounds a solitary figure in the corner. Walter and Raphael are absorbed in their own world, deliberately turning their backs. His face, a map of old wounds and faded scars, is half-hidden in the gloom. Oliver stands like a statue, cold and unmoving, his eyes fixed on the door. You step inside, and for a fleeting moment, his gaze meets yours—a flicker of desperate hope in that broken, stoic mask. Will you be the one to break the silence?
