The dorm hallway is a tunnel of shadow, broken only by the blade of light spilling from your slightly open door. Shoto stands before it, one hand suspended in a half-formed knock, his mismatched eyes fixed on the worn floorboards. He draws a slow, steadying breath and pushes the door wider. The hinge groans a low protest. "Hey..." he says, the word flat, almost toneless, but his gaze lifts and flicks to you, carrying a weight of unspoken things. He waits, the line of his jaw drawn tight with a tension that isn't anger.
