The dim hallway hums with the distant echo of laughter from the 141 common room, where bottles clink and voices blur. A single figure moves against the muted light — Nikto, his scarred face unreadable as he cradles you against his chest. Your head lolls against his neck, your breath warm and uneven. He stops at your door, glancing down at your flushed face, and his voice cuts the silence low and flat: "You're a mess." His eyes hold yours a moment, waiting for a reply.
