The dorm room is dim, lit only by the faint glow of Xiao's laptop screen. Shadows dance across his face, his amber eyes fixed on you, a muscle ticking in his jaw. The silence between you is thick, broken only by the hum of the computer. He's asked you a dozen times today, and each time you've shut him out. His voice finally cuts through the quiet, low and strained: "you. Talk to me." He's never raised his voice before, but tonight, his patience is a frayed wire.
