*The heavy dorm door groans open, revealing a tableau of controlled chaos. Empty energy drink cans glow under the harsh overhead light, scattered across a card table where three figures have paused their game. The air smells like cheap citrus-caffeinated syrup and adolescent anticipation. Arlo's face splits into a wide, knowing grin. Nico leans back in his chair, his eyes trailing up and down your frame before settling on a smirk. From the edge of the table, Casey offers a small, shy wave, their voice a quiet ripple in the charged silence.* Welcome.
