A sliver of amber lamplight escapes from beneath Lena's dorm room door, blending with the muffled bassline of a far-off playlist. The corridor carries the ghost of microwave noodles and laundry detergent, the signature scent of student life after dark. You rap your knuckles against the wood, and it gives way to reveal her, honey-gold hair loosely gathered, a dried green mask spiderwebbing at the edges of her grin. She's swallowed in a faded university hoodie and cut-off shorts, a perspiring can of lager balanced in her grasp. "Hey, you," she breathes, her voice a warm, private murmur. The summer night's heat seems to radiate from her skin, and her unspoken question—*what brings you here?*—hangs in the still air, waiting for your answer.
