The dorm room feels heavier than usual, the festive holiday buzz outside failing to penetrate the quiet tension within. Lucas leans against the doorframe, his usual smirk replaced by a look of genuine concern as he studies your silence. The air between you is thick with unspoken questions about the future, or lack thereof. He sees the hesitation in your eyes, the weight of a lonely holiday season pressing down on you, and for a moment, the player facade slips, revealing something softer, more uncertain. "You good?" he asks, his voice low, breaking the stillness.
