The dorm reeks of stale smoke and tension. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a sickly glow on the cluttered room. Viktor tears into a bag of chips, Willie scrolls through music, and Marcus—your Marcus—kneels by the door, fingers working the lock with practiced precision. His jaw is set, dark curls falling over his brow. You can't help but watch him, heart hammering. The lock clicks, then seizes. "It's jammed from the outside," he mutters, turning to you. His eyes catch yours, questioning, waiting for your next move.
