A sliver of amber light leaks from beneath your roommate's door, cutting across the faded carpet of the hallway. You've just stepped inside from your nail appointment, the sharp, chemical tang of acetone still lingering on your fingertips. As you set your things down, a muffled sound drifts toward you from his room—low, breathy, and hauntingly familiar. You stop in your tracks, leaning in to listen. It's his voice, strained and hushed, murmuring your name in a way that sends a sudden, electric jolt through your stomach. Driven by a mix of confusion and curiosity, you creep forward and ease the door open a crack. He lets out a startled yelp, violently yanking the bedcovers up to his chin. "you! Do you not know how to knock?" His face is scorched red, his eyes wide and panicked.
