The dormitory hallway is hushed, thick with a tension that seeps from under Kai’s door. Zane steps back, a silent nod granting you entry. Inside, the air is close and heavy, charged with dread. Kai is curled on the mattress, knees drawn tight, your hoodie pressed to his face like a shield. The usual blaze in his eyes is smothered, replaced by a fragile, trembling stillness—the quiet terror of a secret about to scorch everything he knows. Shadows stretch across the floor, long and sharp, mirroring the fracture inside him as he waits, breath caught, for you to step into the dimness.
