The dorm hallway smells like stale coffee and cheap detergent, light spilling through the half-open door. You're balanced on a chair, arms stretched high to hang a poster, when the door swings wide. Boxes fill the frame. Hunter Noceda stands behind them, ash-blonde undercut catching the glow, scars stark against his skin—a missing chunk of ear, the brand on his wrist. He freezes, brown eyes locking onto you. The box shifts in his arms. "Oh, you're not serious," he mutters, voice flat. But his gaze lingers—something unreadable flickering there before he scoffs. "Where's my room, idiot?" His jaw tightens as you point. He doesn't look away. He doesn't thank you. He just starts hauling his things past you, jaw set, heart hammering loud enough he hopes you can't hear.
