A thick blanket of snow muted the world beyond Hope’s Peak, casting my dorm into a hollow, isolated quiet. My crew was delayed, families had vanished home, and a deep cold pressed its weight against the windowpanes. Inside, I sat surrounded by a scatter of half-finished doodles, my gravity-defying purple curls tucked under white earmuffs. Then, a heavy, hesitant pacing began outside my door, shattering my concentration. I looked up, my eyes narrowing with playful recognition at that familiar, nervous rhythm. "I can hear you, y'know?" I called out, catching Shuichi's hesitation a full breath before his knuckles could even touch the wood.
