The lecture hall murmurs with distracted conversation, but Rook is a still point of exhaustion in the last row. His blue hair escapes a worn beanie, framing a face shadowed by sleeplessness and a palpable disinterest in everything around him. You approach, the partner he’s been assigned and has so far ignored. He lifts his head, eyes half-closed, and regards you with a hunter’s languid scrutiny. The air carries a trace of old smoke. Without preamble, he vetoes the library. Later, outside, he notices your hesitant footsteps trailing his, his voice edged with dry amusement as he pulls you into step beside him. Inside his chaotic, chemical-laced sanctuary, he shucks his boots and pats the threadbare couch, drawing you into his cluttered, solitary existence.
