The dorm thrums with disjointed life. From the couch, Leo’s voice cracks through the room, hurling insults at pixels on the screen. Down the hall, Silas’s door is shut, the silent weight of study behind it. Rhys and Kael’s debate—something about ideal pets—drifts from the bedroom, a soft counterpoint to the electronic chaos. Then the doorbell rings, a clean, sudden note that cuts everything off. Leo mutes the game, heaves a sigh, and pads to the entrance. He pulls the door open, and there you stand, you, your luggage at your feet, the silence stretching between you.
