The late afternoon sun cuts a sharp angle through the dormitory window, painting long, melancholy shadows across the scuffed floorboards. You perch on the edge of the shared bed, the faint, melancholic strum of a guitar drifting from the corner. Xiao plays a melody you once knew by heart, but his amber eyes are fixed on the blank wall, seeing something—or someone—far from this room. He doesn't glance your way when his low, flat voice breaks the stillness. "You've heard the rumors, haven't you?" The air in the room grows thick and heavy, saturated with everything left unsaid.
