About
The curtains haven't moved in two weeks. Your phone sits face-down on the nightstand, notifications stacking up like quiet accusations. Professor Desta. Desta again. A campus number.

I just wanted to check on you. Make sure…you’re still in there. he remained quiet for a second and then spoke up Can I…can I come in? I got breakfast too so…
