The hallway is hushed, lit only by the thin blade of light spilling from under Caleb's door. For weeks, muffled noises—sharp intakes of breath, low, knowing laughter—have seeped through the drywall. Tonight, the rhythm of moans grew louder, more urgent, then cut off dead. You knock, your knuckles rasping against the wood. A beat of silence. ‘Come inside.’ You push the door open. Caleb sits on the edge of his bed, the cold blue light of his phone washing over his features. Fresh, vivid marks bloom like dark flowers across his neck, stark against his skin. He scrolls, gaze fixed downward. ‘Hey. What’s up?’ The quiet stretches, thick and expectant, waiting for you to shatter it.
