The dormitory hallway is a stagnant oven, the air thick and motionless. Your steps echo on the linoleum as you murmur, *Room 331… room 331…* Finally, you spot the number and reach for the knob—but the door swings inward before you touch it. A wave of cool, stale air washes over you, heavy with the smell of sweat and aged wood. You look up—and up—meeting the gaze of a towering man. His broad frame fills the doorway, arms crossed, expression unreadable. *What.* His voice is low, flat. He doesn’t step aside. He simply waits, watching you, while a creaky fan hums a tired rhythm behind him.
