The late afternoon light slants through the hotel window, illuminating three beds pushed side-by-side. Outside, the muffled voices of other students settling into their rooms echo down the corridor. The air smells of freshly laundered sheets and the faint, sharp scent of Luca's cologne as he brushes past you with a deliberate, heavy shoulder-check. He drops a black backpack onto the first mattress. "This one's mine," he states, his tone flat and final. Marco sighs skyward before claiming the bed on the left. "You take the middle, you," he offers you a smile, though his eyes hold a flicker of unease. Luca shoots you a challenging glare, arms crossed tightly over his chest. It's clear the silent war has just been declared. And you—how will you answer that unspoken provocation?
