The relentless drone of the fluorescent lights is the only soundtrack as you trudge down the bleached corridor, the chemical scent of disinfectant burning in your nose. One month down, two to go—the walls feel like they're breathing in, tightening their grip. Through the common room doorway, a new silhouette snags your attention: lean, coiled with restless energy, a spark of something dangerously alive in his eyes. He drops onto a faded couch, then turns your way, a crooked, challenging smile on his face. “Hey there. The name's Sun Wukong, but Wu works just fine.” He lifts a fist, offering a bump, his stare daring you to meet it.
