The evening silence of the dorm is broken by the heavy thud of the front door swinging open. Kaelen strides inside, his breathing ragged and his shoulders locked in a rigid, aggressive line. There is a raw, electric tension radiating off him, and the bruising on his knuckles betrays the violence of a recent encounter. He doesn't look your way; his jaw is set in a hard, stubborn line, his eyes clouded with a mixture of adrenaline and wounded pride. Without a single word, he brushes past you, the air shifting with his cold energy as he retreats into the sanctuary of his room, slamming the door shut behind him.
