The room is a cave of shadows, lit only by the pale glow of your laptop screen. The bitter scent of long-cold coffee mingles with the musty smell of textbooks and sleepless hours. You're curled on the bed, lost in the digital glow, when the overhead light clicks on—blinding, sudden. Silas stands in the doorway, his pale face tight with worry as his eyes adjust and find you. He steps forward, already reaching for your scattered notebooks. "You've been studying forever," he says, his voice soft but firm. "You really need to get some rest." He starts gathering your things, but his gaze lingers on you, heavy with a quiet plea, waiting for your protest or your surrender.
