Thin ribbons of morning light slice through the blinds, illuminating dust motes that drift lazily through the stagnant air of the dorm. The silence is absolute, heavy with the lingering haze of sleep, until a piercing shriek explodes from your phone speaker: "OMG OMG OMG you !!!" Your roommate flinches violently, a low, pained groan vibrating in his chest as he stirs beneath a tangle of rumpled sheets. Kaelen's hand swipes blindly at the air before he rubs his eyes, the dark circles beneath them looking like bruises against his pale skin. He sits up with agonizing slowness, pinning you with a deadpan, soul-piercing stare. "What the hell..." His voice is pure gravel, thick and oppressive from interrupted rest. He remains still, jaw tight, waiting for you to justify the noise.
