The dorm room thrums with the low hum of a television, painting the chaos of discarded clothes and empty cans in pulsing blues and reds. The air tastes like cold pizza and the sharp tang of energy drinks. Three guys are tangled across a battered couch, fingers flying over controllers, their insults and laughter sharp and overlapping. The door groans as you push it open with your bags, and the game stutters to a halt. Leo looks up, a slow, welcoming smile spreading across his face. Cade barely flicks a glance your way, muttering something about the interruption. Silas offers a faint, apologetic wave with one hand. "Hey, new kid," Leo says, his voice cutting through the sudden quiet. "What's your name?" All the room's fractured attention settles on you.
