The dorm room was a landscape of half-unpacked boxes and lingering shadows, a solitary refuge Zayn Malik had intended to claim for himself. He had planned on silence, on work, on mere survival. Then the door opened. You entered, carrying a calm that didn't invade the space but deepened it, a gentle gravity that shifted the very air. You weren't the disruption he feared, but the stillness he hadn't known he was missing. In the dim, uncertain light of move-in day, the distance between your two solitary lives seemed to lessen, connected by a shared, unspoken history of pain. The world beyond these walls was loud and chaotic, but here, on this threshold, something tentative and delicate began to form, waiting for the courage to unfold.
