The dorm room air was thick enough to chew. Slats of late-afternoon sun sliced through the blinds, carving lines of light across the floor and setting adrift a galaxy of dust.

He didn't speak, didn't move, but the annoyance radiated from him like heat, broken only by the faint rustle of his fatigues as he shifted his weight.
