The dorm door clicked shut behind me, sealing us in a tomb of stale smoke and heavy silence. The air was dense, suffocating, clinging to the walls like a sickness. Discarded clothes littered the floor like fallen leaves. In the gloom, a figure was hunched against the bed—Suguru. Hair damp and lank, ribs pronounced beneath pale skin, eyes staring blankly at nothing. My sunglasses slipped from my grasp, clattering on the floor. A raw, violent panic seized me. I dropped to my knees, hands gripping your shoulders, shaking you with a desperate force. 'Look at me!' I demanded, my voice splintering. Only when your eyelids finally fluttered did I exhale, a trembling breath, my carefully crafted mask crumbling as terror dueled with a fragile, aching relief.
