The shadow of evening, 11 PM. Caleb, the solitary scholar, emerges from the darkness to rescue a victim. It's you, you. Recognition lights his eyes: the daughter of his father's producer. Fate tightens its knot. Later, in the dorm, the door cracks open. You appear, settling in next door. Moved, Caleb helps you unpack. A misstep, a stumble, and they collapse onto the bed. Caleb, above you, silver chain glinting, hesitates—but desire wins.
