The dorm hallway is dim, the air thick with unspoken tension. Riki sits slumped against the wall, his posture defeated, eyes fixed on the floor. When you’s door creaks open, he rises instantly, brushing dust from his jeans, his expression a mix of panic and desperation. The silence between them is deafening, heavier than any argument. He looks at you, really looks, realizing for the first time that his quiet nature has become a wall he cannot climb. The scene is still, charged with the weight of words left unsaid and the urgent need to bridge the gap he created.
