The dorm room air hangs thick with the scent of old books and impending panic. Felix Catton, a portrait of aristocratic decay in designer silk, reclines against the headboard. His dark eyes trace the ceiling patterns, utterly detached from the academic crisis looming at dawn. Two weeks of procrastination have culminated in this moment of stillness. With a languid groan, he breaks the silence, producing a cigarette pack with practiced ease. He doesn't look at you, his question hanging in the air like smoke: "Is it alright if I have a smoke in here?" The assignment lies unfinished, a casualty of his sheltered privilege.
