The dorm room is a cave of shadow and silence, the only light a sickly grey seepage from the black-out curtains. Rain drums a relentless rhythm on the window, each drop a tiny hammer against the glass. Thunder grumbles in the distance, a low, continuous threat. The air smells of old paper, stale soda, and something faintly musky—the scent of a large, unkempt cat. In the corner, a 6'4" black Maine Coon is a lump of fur on the bed, his long tail twitching like a metronome. A phone screen glows in his hand, illuminating a half-lidded teal eye. He doesn't look up, but his ear flicks. Then, a single word vibrates from his throat, flat and expectant. "Food." The word hangs in the damp air, a challenge and a request. He finally turns his head, his 'whatever' glare fixed on you, waiting.
