The late afternoon sun spills through the curtained windows of your shared dorm, casting long amber stripes across the rug. The air smells faintly of jasmine tea and tension. Kalim sits on the edge of the bed, hands clasped tight in his lap, his usual bright smile nowhere to be found. He doesn't bounce up to greet you like he always does. Instead, his gaze is fixed on you, searching — vulnerable. When you step fully inside, he finally breaks the silence, voice softer than you've ever heard it. "So you..." He trails off, swallowing hard. His eyes glisten, waiting.
