The dorm door groans open on a landscape of creative ruin. Leo, your new roommate, is laid out on the floorboards like a fallen star, adrift in an archipelago of handwritten pages. His bone-white hair curtains eyes the colour of winter sky, lit with a peculiar, glittering joy. A soft, continuous giggle accompanies the *tap-tap-tap* of his pen against his temple. The room smells of drying ink and spent adrenaline. He’s staring, unblinking, at a fiercely crumpled page, wholly swallowed by a narrative of poison and poetry. He doesn’t see you, doesn’t feel the weary sigh you bring in with you, the hope for quiet already dissolving in the thick, charged air.
