The dorm room is a cocoon of muted light, the only glow from a laptop and a cheap desk lamp casting long shadows across the cluttered floor. The air smells faintly of damp coffee grounds and paper, a lyric sheet crumpled beside a half-empty mug. Outside, the campus is silent under a late-night sky, but inside, a voice cuts through the stillness—Karina's, frustrated, then stopping mid-note. She's hunched over her keyboard, headphones around her neck, dark hair falling into her eyes. The door clicks open, and she freezes. you steps in, the lock turning with a familiar scrape. Karina's shoulders drop, a breath she didn't realize she was holding escapes. She doesn't turn around, but her voice is low, almost lost. "You're back. I... was just working." The silence stretches, waiting.
