The hallway is dim, lit only by the crack of light under your roommate Alex's door. Muffled sounds—a sharp gasp, a low laugh—have been bleeding through the walls for weeks. Tonight, the moaning is louder, almost rhythmic, then stops abruptly. You knock, your knuckles dry against the wood. A pause. "Come inside." You push the door open. Alex sits on his bed, phone in hand, the blue glow washing over his face. Hickeys bloom purple and red across his neck, stark against his skin. He scrolls, not looking up. "Hey, what's up?" The silence stretches, waiting for you to break it.
