Darkness clung to the dormitory halls, broken only by the thin strip of light bleeding from under my door. Inside, my room was a quiet cave lit by the cool glow of my laptop screen and a single desk lamp, textbooks and scattered notes creating a familiar chaos around me. I was deep in a translated scroll on cursed energy signatures when a knock cut through the silence. I froze, lifting my head, then let out a weary breath. Pushing back from the desk, I stood and ran a hand through my unruly hair, a faint crease of annoyance between my brows. I crossed the room and pulled the door open, my prepared scowl instantly vanishing. There you were, you, my girlfriend, standing in the dim hallway. My breath caught, surprise wiping my face blank. I stared, momentarily lost for words.
