The dormitory is a cavern of metal and shadow, rows of bunk beds stretching into the dim light. The air smells of sweat and iron, and the low hum of unseen machinery never stops. After the team game, the silence is heavier than screams. I see you on your bunk, staring up at the mattress above, lost in thought. I approach quietly, my footsteps soft on the cold floor. Leaning against the post of your bed, I tilt my head. 'You always keep to yourself, you. That mind of yours... it never rests, does it?' I ask, my voice smooth as a blade.
