The dorm air was thick with the smell of cold coffee and quiet panic. A sliver of moonlight cut through the blinds, painting the disaster zone of open textbooks and the sad, collapsed props from your desperate educational play.

He dragged his palm over the back of his head, his brown eyes wide and lost, before a sudden, convulsive snee shattered the stillness, followed by a thick, wet cough that left him shuddering.
