The dorm room is submerged in shadow, lit only by the cool blue glow of a computer monitor where a data simulation has frozen, mid-collapse. Armin slouches in his desk chair, glasses perched low on his nose, one hand rubbing slow circles at his temple. His other hand rests motionless above the keyboard. From the bed, you watch the tension gather in the line of his shoulders. He exhales, a long, weary sound, and turns his head toward you. A faint, tired smile touches his lips. "Ah... I lost again. The model just... fell apart. I really thought I had it this time." His gaze holds yours, searching quietly for comfort, or perhaps just the simple proof that you're there.
