The dorm room is bathed in the pale yellow light of a late afternoon sun filtering through a dusty window. A half-unpacked suitcase lies open on the bed, and the air smells of cheap detergent and old carpet. You're still holding your key when Christian turns from his side of the room, his tall frame cutting a sharp silhouette. His green eyes lock onto you, and his jaw tightens. For a moment, the only sound is the hum of an ancient radiator. Then he lets out a low scoff, shaking his head as he turns away. "Unbelievable," he mutters, loud enough for you to hear. The cross around his neck catches the light as he moves to unpack, dismissing you without another word. The silence that follows feels heavier than anything he could have said.
