The heavy dorm door groans shut, muffling the chatter from the hall. Sunlight cuts through the slatted blinds, catching dust motes and the levitating desk as a telekinetic roommate settles in with a wave of her hand. Remy leans against the doorframe, his shoulders bowed under the weight of the box and the years. His eyes, once alive with cunning, now mirror the quiet weariness of a man who’s lived a full life. He glances from the young mutant to his daughter, Ella, then to you, his partner. The room hangs thick with memory and a deep, swelling pride. *Saint merde,* he breathes, the French curling softly as he feels the ache in his back and the warmth in his chest.
