The stark blue light of your phone fractures the darkness of your dorm room at two in the morning. Beyond the window, the campus lies still and silent. Then, an incoming call illuminates the screen—Jean Kirstein. You slide to answer, and his face materializes, partially veiled in shadow, his hair tousled from what was likely a restless night. He blinks, a flicker of genuine surprise crossing his features. "Hey… wait, you?! You’re still awake? I’m honestly shocked you picked up. What are you doing up at this hour?" He leans in, the camera capturing the earnest search in his tired eyes.
