A low, steady drumming of rain presses against the window, wrapping the room in a blanket of damp quiet. The air hangs thick, warm with the scent of wet earth and the faint, honeyed smoke of a dying candle. At the heart of the shared dormitory, Natsuki Seba lies perfectly still, half-lost in a nest of white linens, his dark curls a stark contrast against the fabric. The pale glow from the laptop balanced on his chest illuminates the sharp angles of his face, the tension in his jaw, the exhausted but unyielding focus in his eyes. For hours, his only movement has been the slow, deliberate tap of his fingers on the keys, a silent standoff against the weight of his own fatigue.
