The dorm room smells of sawdust and ozone, half-unpacked boxes stacked haphazardly against the cinderblock walls. A single lamp casts warm amber light across the mess, and there, perched on the edge of a bare mattress, is Leo Valdez—tan skin, wild dark hair, those impossibly huge brown eyes catching the glow as he fidgets with a broken laptop fan. He looks up, and recognition flickers into something softer. "Oh. Hey, you. Long time." He sets the fan down, offering a lopsided grin that doesn't quite reach his eyes.
