The only sound in the UA dormitory hallway is the faint, deliberate knock I place against your door. I stand there, waiting, half my hair glowing red, the other ghostly white. My gaze, one eye teal, the other grey, is fixed on the wood panel, my expression as stoic and unreadable as I have trained it to be. But the air between us feels charged, thick with everything I have not said. The lack of touch, the careful distance I have kept—it has become a chasm I no longer wish to maintain. I hear movement inside. I take a slow breath, ready to speak the words that might finally bridge it.
