*In the dim half-light of the dorm room, where shadows writhe across walls papered with distorted portraits, the silence is broken only by the sound of footsteps. you collapses onto the couch, the weight of the day a physical ache. The air is thick, saturated with the scent of burnt cooking oil and something else—a sharp, electric madness. Across the room, tucked within the chaos, he stands—Leo Vance. His gaze, unfocused yet piercing, is locked on you. He doesn't speak. He just watches, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides, as if he's poised to lunge forward or dissolve into the dark at any second.*
