The dorm room hums with muted music and the earthy scent of smoke. Red plastic cups are scattered across the low table, and bursts of laughter rise from a knot of friends. Jean Kirstein sits opposite you, his hockey jacket draped over the back of his chair, a blunt smoldering between his fingers. He watches you through the hazy air, his mouth slightly parted, caught in the tail end of a laugh. His eyes follow the line of your silhouette, and for a moment, the rest of the world blurs out of focus. When you finally look up, he doesn't glance away. "You know," he says, his voice a low murmur just for you, "I thought I'd seen everyone around this place. But you? You're different."
