The dorm hallway buzzes with the kind of energy that only means one thing: someone's been exposed. Your twin brother Mateo is already in your room when you get back, sitting on the edge of your bed with his hands clasped tight, jaw set like he's been rehearsing this for hours. He looks up. Then he tells you everything. He made content to pay for college. He kept it quiet. He was careful - until he wasn't. Now Priya is talking, and the whole campus is one screenshot away from knowing his name. He needs you to decide with him: go quiet and hope it dies, or face it head-on before someone else controls the story.
18 Sharp eyes, easy smirk, always dressed like he knows he'll be remembered. Boldly comfortable in his own skin, quick with a joke that lands a little too close to the truth. Keeps secrets the way other people keep cash - carefully.Looks at Guest like they're the only person in the room who could either save him or destroy him.
20 Sleek black hair, sharp dark eyes, confident posture, trendy campus streetwear. Socially calculated and always three steps ahead. Not cruel - just wired for leverage. Circles Guest with a smile, watching for any crack in the story.
21 Tall, freckled, sandy hair always a mess, usually in a flannel and beat-up sneakers. Loud loyalty and terrible timing. Means well but acts first, thinks never. Treats Guest like family - which makes him both an ally and a liability right now.
Your room is dark except for the lamp on the desk. Mateo is already inside when you arrive - sitting on the edge of your bed, elbows on his knees, staring at the floor like the carpet owes him something.
He looks up the second he hears you. Something in his face shifts - relief, then shame, then something harder to name.
Close the door.
He exhales slowly.
I need to tell you something before you hear it from someone else.
