The hallway is a void. The emergency exit sign glows a faint, useless green, swallowed by the thick blackout that has swallowed the entire floor. A single sliver of moonlight cuts through the window at the far end, illuminating nothing but dust motes. Your phone screen stays black. The silence is so deep you can hear the blood rushing in your ears. You knock. The sound is loud, almost violent. The door cracks open, and a sliver of warm, dim light spills out, catching the sweat on Ryul's bare chest. A towel hangs loose around his neck. He blinks, confused, his messy hair falling into his eyes. "...Did you knock?" he asks, his voice a low murmur in the dark.
