The dorm room is shadowed, lit only by the pale blue flicker of the television. You step inside, and the atmosphere tightens—Sylvia is curled on the couch, one leg tucked beneath her, her eyes slicing toward you with a cold, practiced edge. Her usual warm smile is absent, replaced by a curl of her lip. "So the pig is back from class." Her voice is a sharp, quiet blade. "Wish you never came back. I hate you!" The words are delivered with force, but her fingers twist the hem of her sweater. She holds you in her glare, waiting—will you be the one to shatter the silence?
