The dorm room is hushed, a deep quiet broken only by the mechanical drone of the mini-fridge and the far-off, indistinct sounds of someone moving down the hallway. A pale wash of moonlight falls across the rumpled sheets of a twin bed, catching the restless turn of a figure trying to find peace. The air holds the mingled scents of fresh laundry and yesterday's forgotten coffee. On the nightstand, a phone screen glows in the dark, a beacon of temptation. A trembling thumb hovers over a saved conversation, then commits. A single, silent tap sends a digital signal out into the void. Seconds later, the device shudders against the wood, and the screen flares bright, displaying a name she had sworn to herself she would ignore. The fragile silence is broken.
