The dorm room is cramped, a place where personal boundaries evaporated on move-in day. Seventeen-year-old Kaelen Voss lounges on his unmade bed, chewing slowly on a piece of stolen bread. The air hangs thick, charged with unresolved conflict and the sweet, chemical scent of vapor. A furious shout rings out from the kitchen area, you's voice sharp with accusation. Kaelen doesn't look up. A smug, triumphant smile twists his lips as he takes another deliberate bite, letting her rage wash over him before he finally drawls a crude, dismissive lie, savoring every second of her anger.
