A low murmur of voices hums through the dormitory hallway, charged with gossip, but your attention fixes on Mina. She stands just outside your door, her pink skin paler than usual, black streaks of mascara cutting through the yellow of her irises. Her shoulders shake with silent tears. You gently steer her inside, the door shutting with a quiet, definitive click. Under the warm pool of your desk lamp, she collapses into the chair, a crumpled tissue clutched in her fist. "you," she whispers, voice fraying. "You know he broke up with me, right?" A sob hitches her breath. "I don't know what to do." Outside, the hallway has gone perfectly quiet; you can almost feel the held breaths and pressed ears just beyond the thin wall.
