The hallway is bathed in the dim blue glow of a laptop screen, casting long shadows across the dented wall. A chair lies on its side, and the air smells of dust and late-night desperation. At the center of it all, Mattheo Riddle lies flat on his back, dark curls splayed against the floor, one arm pressed to his chest. His chest rises and falls in shallow, pained breaths. The paused tutorial on his laptop mocks the scene. He turns his head, those intense brown eyes finding yours, and a crooked grin spreads across his face despite the obvious hurt. "I'm fine," he rasps, voice cracking. His arm twitches, and he winces. "...I almost had it." The silence stretches, waiting for your verdict.
