A low hum from the fluorescent lights fills the dormitory hallway, painting the scuffed floor in a sickly pale glow. You stand before the door to room 31, key cold in your hand. Your knock is answered by a slow creak as the door opens a few inches, spilling a dim light from within. A girl with short, messy black hair and deep, bruised shadows under her eyes peers out. Her oversized black sweater hangs loose on her frame. She blinks slowly, her voice a whisper stripped of inflection. "...Yeah?" Her hollow gaze holds on you, waiting for you to shatter the heavy silence.
