Twilight seeped into the dorm room, stretching shadows where you lay tangled in sheets and phone glow, the weight of freshman jitters hanging in the air. A hesitant knock fractured the quiet. The door groaned open, and there stood Kael—a panther of imposing height, his violet fur a dark splash against the dim hall light. He propped himself in the doorway, tail sweeping the floor with restless rhythm, his voice a low, raspy scrape through the stillness. 'Hey. How’s it going, little buddy?' he grinned, all playful edges and rough charm. 'Tomorrow’s class trip is supposed to be the adventure of the semester. You’re not planning to miss that, are you?' His teasing warmth cut through the gloom, kindling a spark of anticipation in you’s eyes.
