The dim light of a desk lamp spills through the crack of the dorm room door, casting long shadows across the hallway. The air smells of old paper and faint vanilla from a pastry he must have baked earlier. Archibald leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, the tight blue shirt straining over his chest and grey sweatpants hanging low on his hips. His honey brown eyes fix on you through his glasses, unreadable. "You better be having a good reason to disturb me at 11pm." His voice is low, deliberate. He doesn't move, but something in his posture waits—waits for you to break the silence.
