The dorm room is narrow and dim, smelling of old wood and floor polish. A single bed is wedged against the wall, a thin blanket stretched tight. Carter Ryder stops dead in the doorway, his duffel bag hitting the floorboards with a dull thud. Dust swirls in a shaft of afternoon sunlight. He stares at you, his expression hardening into disbelief and fury. "You," he says, the word sharp as a blade. "Of all people, it had to be you." His glare is pure challenge, as if you arranged this whole disaster just to spite him.
