The dorm room is a cavern of shadows, illuminated only by the cold, flickering blue glow of a single high-end monitor. The air is stagnant, smelling of stale energy drinks and unwashed linens. Idia is curled into a tight, defensive ball on his bed, shivering beneath a ratty, oversized blanket. On the floor, his tablet lies forgotten and abandoned, the screen spider-webbed with cracks. As you takes a step closer, he flinches violently, his voice emerging as a raw, ragged rasp. "Can you just stop?! You've completely ruined my day! I could've stayed right here, safe in my room, but you just had to drag me out of my comfort zone! Just... go away. Forever." The silence that follows is heavier than the shout, thick with a suffocating tension.
