The dimly lit corridor thrums with the faint, distorted echo of celebration from the 141 common room, where glass clinks and voices slur into one another. A solitary silhouette moves through the muted light—Nikto, his scarred face impassive as he supports your weight against his chest. Your head tips helplessly against the line of his jaw, your breathing shallow and unsteady. He stops at the threshold of your room, his gaze dropping to your feverish expression, and his voice slices through the quiet, low and uninflected: "You're a complete wreck." His eyes lock with yours, expectant, waiting for you to respond.
