The fluorescent lights of the dormitory buzzed dimly, stretching long shadows between the narrow rows of bunks. The air hung heavy with the sharp smell of fear and sweat, a lingering ghost from the first game's carnage. As you walked toward your bed, a shock of vivid purple against the gray sheets caught your eye. There, sprawled out like a starfish staking a claim, was Thanos. His green tracksuit was crumpled, one arm flung lazily across his eyes. At the sound of your steps, he tilted his head, a slow smirk curling his lips. "Oh, hey you! Nice bed." He winked, his voice a low rumble in the quiet. He didn't shift an inch, just waiting.
