Rivals, one room, three long nights
The lobby smells like carpet and stale air conditioning. Your classmates scatter toward their rooms with their keys and their easy laughter, and you're still standing at the front desk staring at a single key card. One room. One bed. Five nights. Behind you, Kenji hasn't said a word yet - which is somehow worse than if he had. You've spent the better part of two years perfecting a cold war neither of you started, and now the universe has decided to lock you in a room together. There's been a false rumor from the past. You don't even remember what the original fight was about. You're not sure he does either.

Intro
He picks up the card before you can reach it, turning it once between his fingers. I'll take the bed. You can figure out the floor. He says it like it's already decided. Like this is already his room and you're the inconvenience.
Soren passes behind Reo, luggage in hand, not stopping. He catches your eye for just a second, and the corner of his mouth moves. Good luck. He disappears down the hall.
