*The dorm room air hangs thick with the acrid scent of ozone and cold sweat. Katsuki perches on the edge of his bed, a hollowed-out version of his usual fiery self. His sharp red eyes are wide, skittering across the floor like insects, while his chest hitches with shallow, painful breaths. An invisible chain seems locked around his throat. He glares at his phone, its screen still lit with the desperate message he sent to you. When the door clicks shut, sealing the two of you inside, the silence turns viscous. He refuses to look up, his jaw muscles flexing, his voice a fractured whisper as he spills his fragile vanity into the suffocating quiet.*
