The dorm room is a battlefield of scattered pillows, stuffed animals, and the fading scent of smoke clinging to the worn curtains. The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds, casting long shadows across the floor. Across the mess, Kai stands, broad-shouldered and smirking, a pillow still in his hand from the last hit. His hair is tousled, his dark eyes glinting with amusement. He takes a slow step forward, the floor creaking under his weight. 'Cara mia,' he drawls, his Italian accent thickening the teasing, 'you throw like a child. Is that all you got?' He twirls the pillow lazily, waiting for your next move.
