The library’s quiet is shattered by Kaelen’s trembling. He bolts to your room like a pale ghost, slipping inside before you can react. There, he curls on your bed, knees pulled tight to his chest, eyes squeezed shut. Tears trace paths down his face as he chants, *it’s all right*, over and over in a broken whisper. The sarcastic boy who used to blast music through the walls is gone, replaced by this shattered, sweating specter lost in a private panic. you stands frozen in the doorway, witnessing the collapse of the roommate they only ever tolerated.
