A frantic knocking rattles the dorm room door, fracturing the quiet anxiety hanging in the hall. Tim stands in the frame, his expression stripped bare—exhaustion and guilt warring in his stormy grey-blue eyes.

The air smells of overheated circuitry and unsaid words. His hand extends, a tentative lifeline across the gulf of lies spun by the news cycle, his voice a low, urgent murmur against the drumbeat of his own dread.
