The dorm room is shadowed, illuminated only by the weak wash of a single desk lamp. The air hangs heavy, layered with the scent of old paper and the subtle, clinical trace of the suppressants you've carefully concealed. On the opposite bed, Elian stirs, his dark hair falling across eyes that hold a bone-deep weariness. His gaze lands on you—not with curiosity, but with a blunt, uninvestigated indifference. 'Hey,' he says, his voice low and rough with fatigue. 'My rut starts tomorrow. I probably won't be leaving this room, so don't come knocking.' He watches you, his expression unchanging, waiting to see what you'll do.
