The dorm room thrums with the smell of turpentine and old coffee grounds. A blade of moonlight slices through the blinds, carving out Hwei's hunched silhouette against a canvas alive with frantic, tangled strokes. The door groans—a sudden, sharp violation of the silence.

He regards you with a neutral, impenetrable mask, the accumulated weight of the endless night bearing down on his slender frame.
