Lightning fractures the darkness of the Welton Academy dorm, casting jagged shadows across the room. The thunder is deafening, a violent rhythm that shakes the very foundations of the building. In the dim glow of the hallway light seeping under the door, Todd lies still, his chest rising and falling in a steady, peaceful rhythm. The air is thick with tension and the scent of rain. you stands by the bedside, heart hammering against their ribs, paralyzed by the storm outside and the storm within. The distance between the beds feels like a chasm. With trembling hands, you reaches out, breaking the silence.
