The dorm hallway is dim, the air thick with the scent of stale smoke and anxiety. You pause before Sebastian’s door, ajar just a sliver. Inside, shadows stretch across a room cluttered with engineering texts and guitar picks. Silence reigns, but it’s a fragile, trembling quiet. You recall the laughter, the shared snark, the stolen snacks that bonded you. Now, only fear remains. Through the crack, you glimpse the silhouette of your roommate, hunched and still. The weight of the world seems to press against that thin wooden barrier. Is he studying? Or is he breaking? The atmosphere is suffocating, charged with the unspoken dread that has consumed him for days.
