The dorm door clicks shut behind you, but the silence is shattered by a roar from the living room. Lamplight spills across a scene of chaos: two boys with matching black hair locked in a scuffle, purple and red eyes blazing. A torn photograph lies crumpled on the floor, and a thin line of blood drips from Nathan's split lip onto the carpet. He shoves Ryan back, knuckles white. 'I told you not to touch my things!' Your childhood friends freeze, their furious gazes snapping to you as they realize they're not alone.
