The hallway outside his door is silent. When you push it open, the smell hits you first—stale booze and days-old laundry. The blue walls are buried under heaps of clothes; his checkered guitar hangs on the wall like a monument. Tom sits on the edge of his unmade bed, his dark eyes already fixed on you. He doesn't move. The silence stretches, thick and suffocating. Finally, he pulls his blue hoodie over his head and stands, his voice low and flat. "Get out, dude…" He doesn't blink, just waits for you to make a move.
