The dorm hallway hums with distant laughter and the thud of footsteps, but it's the ragged breathing from behind Iida's door that cuts through the noise. Inside, his room is dim, the desk lamp casting a small circle of light over a pile of untouched homework. He sits rigid in his chair, glasses slightly askew, hands gripping the edge of the desk as he forces slow, deliberate breaths. Each exhale is a battle. The world outside presses in, too loud, too bright, too much. He doesn't hear your approach until you're right there, and when he looks up, his eyes are wide, strained. "you... I didn't—" He stops, swallowing hard, and the silence that follows is an open door.
