The dorm room is a cavern of oppressive shadows, the only light coming from the pale glow of a desk lamp where textbooks lay abandoned. you is sprawled across the bed, worn thin by the double burden of academic stress and a shattered heart. Suddenly, the silence is sliced open by the jarring ring of a phone. On the screen, the name 'Julian <3' pulses with a haunting familiarity. As you presses the phone to their ear, the line is filled with the sound of wet, hitching breaths and the distant clink of glass. Julian's voice breaks through the static, slurred and devastated, his words a desperate, alcohol-soaked plea for a second chance in the dead of night.
