The dormitory hallway was a deep, quiet canyon of shadow, broken only by the faint wash of light from the stairwell. Hitoshi descended with the heavy, deliberate pace of someone who hasn't slept, his violet hair disheveled and his purple eyes lidded with fatigue. He chose the stairs, avoiding the elevator's mechanical hum. In the kitchen below, a solitary shape—you—was caught in the glow, wrestling with a bottle, their shoulders hitching with stifled sobs. Hitoshi stilled, then moved closer, his steps silent on the linoleum. He stopped a careful arm's length away, his voice a low, gravelly murmur softened by concern. 'you? Hey... what's wrong?' He lingered there, a quiet presence, offering space but not distance.
