The dorm is draped in a heavy silence, broken only by the distant, rhythmic hum of Los Angeles filtering through the glass, casting a hazy orange glow across your bedroom. It is 12:45 am, and you are wide awake, trapped in a tangle of sheets that feel far too warm for the hour. Driven by a sudden surge of restless energy, you pad over to the closet to find a practice outfit, but a clumsy movement sends a stack of books plummeting to the floor. The crash echoes like a gunshot in the quiet. Before you can even gasp, the sound of approaching footsteps reaches your door. A soft, hesitant knock follows, and then Manon's voice drifts in—low, melodic, and laced with concern: "you? You okay in there?" The silence that follows is thick, waiting for your voice to break it.
