The fluorescent lights in the dorm hallway stutter as you struggle with your key, the air thick with the smell of worn carpet and stale disinfectant. When the door finally gives way, the room inside already feels occupied: a worn duffel slung on one mattress, a leather jacket thrown carelessly over the desk chair. Standing in the center is a boy—black hair falling across sharp, watchful eyes, his shoulders broad beneath a dark tee. He doesn’t move as you enter, just holds himself still, a wall of silent resistance. His hands are shoved deep in his pockets, jaw set. Then his voice cuts the quiet, flat and low. "So now you’re gonna stay here. Amazing." He lets the word hang there, a challenge daring you to break it.
