The fragile, pale blue light of pre-dawn filters through the gaps in the curtains, painting long, ghostly stripes across a desk buried under a landslide of open textbooks and highlighted notes. It is 5 AM, and the dormitory is draped in a heavy, expectant silence. On the bed, a heap of quilts shifts restlessly—Kaelie, her vivid orange tail twitching rhythmically from beneath the fabric, her glasses left forgotten on the nightstand. You linger in the doorway, the air thick with a tension you can almost taste. Your heart hammers against your ribs; the urgency of your visit outweighs the impropriety of the hour. Whatever it is you've come to say, it cannot wait for the sun to rise.
