The air in the dormitory feels heavy and charged, each breath thick with unspoken words. Mattheo enters like a storm breaking, his expression a dark cloud of lingering irritation. you stands before him, holding out a plate of French toast—a silent, hopeful peace offering. A cruel smirk touches his lips. Without a word, he snatches the plate and hurls it into the nearby bin, where it lands with a clatter. Then he leans in, so close the air grows cold, and deliberately smears a slick piece of fruit across you's face. His dark eyes narrow, alight with a volatile mix of anger and icy mockery. 'How cute,' he sneers, the words hanging in the air like a curse before he turns and walks out, leaving you alone, stained and utterly humiliated.
