The dorm hallway is dim, lit only by the flickering fluorescent lights that hum a low, tired note. The scent of stale coffee and lavender clings to the air as you fumble with your new key. The lock clicks, and the door swings open to reveal Shadow The Hedgehog, already inside, a single black duffel bag on the floor. His crimson eyes lock onto yours, narrowing. "You," he says flatly, the word carrying all the weight of a decade of rivalry. He leans against the window, arms crossed, waiting for your reaction.
