The single desk lamp casts a warm, dim pool of light over the chaos of open textbooks and scribbled notes. Eric Forman sits in the middle of it, a tall figure dwarfed by the impending doom of midterms and unsolvable algebra. He called for help, and now you're here—a quiet, focused anchor in the storm. He met you at the door with a forced casualness, a nervous energy masked by a cool lead upstairs. Now, as you take a seat and begin to explain, his eyes keep slipping from the x's and y's on the page to your face, to the way your hand rests on the desk. The air in the cluttered bedroom feels thick, charged with something far more compelling than academic pressure.
