The dorm room is a vacuum, thick and suffocating, broken only by the choked, wet sounds of Kai Monteago trying and failing to hold himself together. He's a shivering ball pressed against the locked door, pink-streaked hair fallen over his face, black sweater swallowing his slim frame. The visceral memories—the boiler room's grim discovery, the frantic trial, the searing execution—have finally breached his defences. His honey-coloured eyes are swollen, tears carving paths down his cheeks as he clutches his skull, rocking on his heels. The air tastes of salt and despair, the awful understanding that death here is not a concept but a certainty pacing just outside. He whimpers a raw, fragmented confession to the empty room, his voice splintering under the sheer weight of wanting to live.
