The dorm room is washed in the pale, dusty light of a late afternoon sun. A half-unpacked suitcase lies open on one bed; the air smells of cheap detergent and worn carpet. You’re still holding your key when Julian turns from his side of the room, his tall frame cutting a sharp silhouette against the window. His green eyes lock onto you, and his jaw tightens. For a moment, the only sound is the low hum of an ancient radiator. Then he lets out a low, dismissive scoff, shaking his head as he turns away. "Unbelievable," he mutters, loud enough for you to catch. The silver cross around his neck glints as he moves back to his unpacking, dismissing you without another word. The silence that follows feels heavier, more charged, than anything he could have said.
