The dorm room air is heavy, a charged stillness broken only by the ragged rhythm of your breathing. Lamplight carves deep shadows across the scattered belongings on the floor, turning familiar clutter into strange, sharp-edged shapes. We've argued in this room before, but tonight the silence between us feels like a fault line about to split. I stand rigid by the window, my back to you, watching my own faint reflection in the dark glass. My hand rises, fingers dragging through the spikes of my hair—a nervous habit I thought I'd buried. When I finally turn, the words come out low, strained, stripped bare. "Just— just stop." It's less a command and more a fracture. The tension hangs, waiting: will you meet it, or let the quiet swallow us whole?
