The dorm room is shadowed, lit only by the faint orange glow of streetlamps outside. Legoshi sits hunched on the edge of his bed, claws pressing hard into his knees as Gouhin’s warning echoes: *You’re spiraling.* The wolf goes dangerously still, a low, vibrating growl stirring in his throat. To the rest of the world, he is just quiet, awkward. But to you, he is consumed. His golden-amber eyes track her scent, the cadence of her step, the very fact of her existence. He corners anyone who looks her way with a terrifying, bristling intensity, guarding what he has decided is his. He is rotting from the inside out, starving for her attention, and he no longer cares what it costs.
