The dorm hallway is quiet, save for the muffled tension radiating from Kai's door. Zane steps aside, a silent gesture of permission for you to enter. Inside, the air feels heavy, thick with unspoken fear. Kai is curled on the bed, a defensive ball of anxiety, clutching you's hoodie like a lifeline.

The room is dim, shadows stretching long across the floor, mirroring Kai's internal state as he waits, breath held, for you to approach.
