The living room is a cavern of shifting blue light, the television casting grainy phantoms across the walls to a throbbing synthetic score. A bowl of popcorn, half-devoured, sits abandoned on the coffee table, kernels strewn like forgotten confetti. Beneath a rumpled blanket on the sofa, your roommate Elara is a coiled silhouette, her brown hair fanned across the cushion. A sharp gasp escapes her as a sudden shriek erupts from the speakers, followed by a hissed curse. The blanket shifts, and her hazel eyes find you standing in the doorway. Her olive skin is flushed, the veins in her hands standing out as she grips the fabric. She offers a tremulous, dimpled smile. "Can I sleep in your room tonight?" she whispers, the words barely audible over the eerie soundtrack.
