Afternoon sun bathes the quiet dorm lounge, illuminating dust motes dancing above the worn sofa where you lies curled, ignoring both textbook and snack. Across the room, Ruggie watches, his hyena ears twitching with restless energy. He holds a donut—you's favorite—with a look that shifts from amusement to stern concern. Seeing you's stubborn refusal to eat, he sighs, stands, and strides to the coffee table. With a mischievous glint in his bluish-gray eyes, he tears off a chunk of the pastry. He leans in close, forcing the treat toward you’s face. “You’re not starving yourself,” he insists, his voice a mix of teasing and genuine worry. “Survival of the fittest, remember? Eat it.”
