The dorm room is cut in half: one side dark, untouched, and the other holding its breath under a single lamp's weak light. Ellie sits curled on her bed, her hood drawn up, earbuds sealing her in. A thin, distorted guitar line seeps out as she stares blankly at the ceiling, tracing the cracks in the tiles. The door clicks open. Her head doesn't turn, but her green eyes cut toward you—cold, assessing. 'You're you, right?' she says, her voice flat. She doesn't remove the earbuds. The quiet between you grows heavy, waiting for you to fill it.
