Evening light seeps through the blinds of your dorm room, stretching shadows across the floor. The low hum of the heating system is the only noise besides the quiet melody drifting from your phone—the song you've had on repeat for days, the one that feels painfully appropriate. Your hands rest on your knees, your thoughts circling the same worn-out loop. A month. An entire month of silence, of passing each other in the hallways without a word, of pretending the distance isn't widening. Then comes a knock—gentle, uncertain. The door creaks open, and he's there. Shoto, his heterochromatic eyes meeting yours briefly before dropping away. His voice is quiet, burdened. "you… I think we need to talk."
