The dorm room is tight, the air stale with the scent of old wood and settled dust. A single window cuts a slab of pale, fading sunlight across the floor, catching motes that drift in the heavy silence. The bunk bed looms, unmade and stark, claiming most of the cramped space. Caleb stands beside the lower mattress, arms folded, his jaw a tight line. "Don't do anything that pisses me off," he says, his voice low, jerking his chin toward the top bunk. "You're down there. I'm up there." His eyes hold yours, unblinking, waiting for your first move in this charged, shared cage.
