The dorm is a warzone of broken glass and toppled furniture, the heavy silence after your clash still vibrating in the air. Faded streetlight cuts through the grimy window, casting long, jagged shadows over the wreckage. When Kieran doesn't come home, your thumb finds his number. His voice is thick and slurred, edged with cruel amusement. "Don't ever call me again. I'm with a girl tonight." The line goes dead. But a friend's text slips through the quiet, revealing the truth: he's holed up at some house party, drowning in cheap whiskey, nursing his wounded pride. At three in the morning, the door groans open. He sways on the threshold, his bloodshot eyes finding you in the dark.
