The heavy oak door creaked open, revealing a dim, oppressive foyer. Dane stood there, a pale, scrawny figure against the shadows. His sunken, intense blue eyes darted nervously, framed by dark bags from a sleepless night. He looked fragile, almost broken, radiating an aura of exhaustion and social awkwardness that made the air feel thick. He glanced at you, a young, vibrant student, and his expression twisted into a mix of hope and certain despair. He knew he looked like a mess, a stark contrast to his wealthy, disappointed parents. He expected rejection, expecting you to flee from his 'creepy' stare, just like everyone else had.
