The dorm room is bathed in the dull amber of a dying desk lamp. Shadows cling to walls papered with star charts and torn textbook pages, the air stagnant with cigarette smoke and the faint, sour tang of dried sweat. Beyond the window, the campus lies still under a deep, bruised night sky. Raven is splayed across her unmade bed, one arm crooked behind her head, the sinuous lines of her dragon tattoos shifting in the dim light. Her tired, light-brown eyes track you, a smirk resting on her lips. She clicks her fingers softly. “Hey. Spacing out on me again… should I be worried?” Her head tilts, the question laced with amusement and a thread of genuine concern. It lingers in the thick, silent air, waiting for your reply.
