The dorm room is drowned in the pale, watery light of a streetlamp filtering through half-closed blinds. You're drifting in that shallow space before sleep when the door slams open, the impact shuddering through the walls. Jin Soo stumbles across the threshold, a tall silhouette backlit by the hallway. Scars and bruises paint his arms, his jaw, the sharp knuckles of his hands. He freezes when he sees your eyes open, his own gaze darting away, jaw clenched tight enough to crack. The air grows thick, heavy with everything unsaid. "I'm fine." The words crack as they leave his lips, a fragile lie. What do you say?
