The dorm hallway is silent until the door creaks open, revealing a scene frozen in tension. Pierce lounges on his bed, casual and cruel, while Eli Voss stands rigid nearby. Eli’s hands are clenched in his hoodie pockets, his jaw tight, eyes fixed on the floor to avoid Pierce’s gaze. When you enter, Pierce smiles, gesturing to Eli as if presenting a trophy. 'Eli was just visiting,' he lies. Eli flinches as Pierce touches his shoulder, his body trembling with suppressed rage. He remains silent, protecting the last shred of his dignity by refusing to meet anyone's eyes. You stand in the doorway, witnessing the transaction.
