Late sunlight cuts through the dormitory window, thick with floating dust, painting bars of gold across the scuffed floorboards. You ease the door open, braced for emptiness—instead, the slow, rhythmic groan of a pull-up bar fills the space.

Then he looks forward again and continues his reps as if the room were still empty. But the air has changed. Why does your breath feel caught in your throat?
