The hallway of dorm 19 is dim, lit only by flickering sconces that cast long shadows. The air smells of old stone and something metallic—copper, maybe. Students you pass flinch away, their faces pale with fear, but you ignore it and push the door open. Inside, a figure sits at a small desk, back to you, hunched over. When he turns, lamplight catches the crimson smeared across his lips and chin, dripping onto a half-empty glass. He freezes. So do you.
