The hallway light spills through your cracked door, a thin yellow blade cutting the dark of your dorm room. The air is sour with old coffee and ink. A sharp, erratic knock shatters your concentration—three thuds, then a pause, then one more, muffled against the wood.

Nicholas Wang sways there, leaning one shoulder against the frame, his tie loose and eyes glassy, a lazy smirk playing on his lips. He blinks at you slowly, as if focusing is a monumental task. "Well, well," he slurs, voice a low, teasing rasp. "Didn't think you'd actually open. Miss me?" He waits, breathing you in, the silence stretching like a dare.
