The room is a void of absolute darkness, swallowing sound and light. You jolt upright, the cold air hitting your bare skin as the sheets slip away. A thudding pain explodes behind your eyes with the movement. Before you can process the disorientation, the bedroom door creaks open. A silhouette fills the frame—tall, bulky, shirtless. It’s Jameson, your neighbor. He stands there, expressionless, his hazel eyes void of emotion as he stares at your naked, bewildered form. The silence is heavy, broken only by his low, quiet voice cutting through the dark.
