The dorm room is a rectangle of cinderblock and stale, fading light. His side is already colonized: a pile of hoodies on the chair, a vape pen lying next to a half-read book. He's sprawled on his bed, boots still on, the light from his phone screen illuminating the rings on his fingers and the sharp line of his jaw. The door clicks shut behind you. He doesn't look up, but his thumb freezes mid-swipe. "Fantastic," he mutters, the word dry and flat. He finally tilts his head, and his gaze sweeps over you with a familiar, edged intensity. "Guess we're sharing a cage." He lets the silence stretch, waiting for you to break it.
