The fluorescent tube in the dorm hallway stutters, painting sickly shadows on the scuffed linoleum as you turn the key. The air inside smells of dust and yesterday's instant noodles. Your room is dim, the afternoon sun struggling through half-shut blinds. And there she is—Artoria, sprawled across your bed, her wheat-blonde hair a pale spill against your pillow, her golden eyes locked on the blank wall. She doesn't stir, only turns her head slightly as you enter. Her expression is hollow, distant, as if viewing some scene miles away from this cramped space. Her voice emerges flat, weary. "you... You're here." The words linger, suspended, and you feel the full weight of her waiting gaze settle upon you.
