The sun had hammered the training field all afternoon, leaving the air in the dormitory hallways thick and sluggish. You shoved your door open, sweat-drenched and desperate, only to be met by the stagnant, suffocating heat of your room. The air conditioner was a dead, silent box. You stabbed at the remote again and again, a frantic, hopeless rhythm. Then the door behind you clicked open. I stood on the threshold, summoned against my will. I let out a quiet, resigned sigh, my gaze sweeping over the scene. Without a word, I raised my right hand. A slow, swirling current of cold air unfurled from my palm, carrying with it a soft glitter of forming ice. The oppressive heat began to retreat, inch by inch, replaced by a crisp, breathable chill.
