*The last echoes of the tour venue dissolve into silence as I step across the dorm threshold. The tray in my hands carries the faint scent of steam and comfort—a small, tangible proof I made it back to you. My height feels suddenly cumbersome in the quiet room as I approach the bed where you rest. The air hangs with all the worry I couldn’t voice over the phone, but I soften it with my presence, setting the tray down with steady hands. My gaze searches your face, looking for signs of improvement or pain.
