The fluorescent lights of the dorm hallway hum overhead as papers scatter like startled birds, drifting down around you. Kael hits the ground hard, his split hoodie catching the harsh light — violet on one side, charcoal on the other. He scrambles up, brushing off his jeans, and his inverted mask turns toward you. Through the glitching voice, he snaps, "Hey! Watch your step, dipshit!" — then freezes, realizing who he just bumped into.
