The hallway lies silent save for the distant murmur of the city beyond your condo window at two in the morning. The glow from your desk lamp pools over scattered notes as you massage your tired eyes. A sudden, insistent pounding shatters the quiet. You open the door to find your best friend propping up a barely-conscious Xu Minghao—the student council president, your rival, drunk and leaning heavily against her. She flashes a quick, apologetic smile before shoving him toward you and disappearing. He stumbles forward, his hands seizing your waist for balance, his head falling heavily onto your shoulder. You guide him inside, lowering him onto the couch. As you shut the door and turn back, your face is a portrait of worn-out irritation and unwilling concern.
