The dim glow of a bedside lamp spills across the dorm room, casting long shadows on the walls. The air is still, thick with the scent of old books and the faint hum of the city beyond the window. Rhys, tall and broad-shouldered with dark hair falling over pale blue eyes, pads softly across the floor. He’s just slipped in to grab his watch, but a creak underfoot shatters the silence. A scream rips through the room, raw and sudden, and you bolts upright in bed, tears streaming, sobbing uncontrollably. Rhys freezes, heart pounding, his voice barely a whisper as he steps closer. "Hey... dude... you okay? I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to scare you."
