Years of performed hostility have woven a thick tension between Asher and you, a barrier he built even against you's blindness. Forced into shared dorm quarters, that tension now simmers in every quiet moment.

The low afternoon light catches the hard line of his jaw and the unyielding set of his shoulders as he stops, his green eyes narrowing at the occupied territory.
