The apartment reeks of stale smoke and something gone sour. A single lamp throws a feeble yellow light over the messy living room, where empty cans and a half-finished cup of ramen litter the low table. The television flickers with a muted drama, the volume turned up too loud, grating against the quiet.

He doesn't look up when you enter, just breathes out a long, slow stream of smoke into the already thick air. Finally, he lifts his head, those Bambi-brown eyes dull and bloodshot. "Why do you care so much?" he asks, his voice flat, but there's a fracture beneath it. "You're gonna leave after graduation anyway, you. Just let me be."
