#averyzhao

there really was no plan for alethea, they were simply...wandering. and in that wandering they found themselves on the steps of the dorm. it was odd seeing it so dark, it was even more daunting this way. it certainly wasn’t lifeless, but it almost seemed like it, and the campus as a whole, were sharing a part of themselves that was normally overlooked by students, that was underestimated. slowly she climbed the steps toward the door, kind of resigned about the idea of just sitting in their room in the dark...which somehow seemed more depressing than normal. but as they dragged their feet, they noticed another approaching, with a bit more purpose than alethea could muster. so she paused, letting her now adjusted eyes take in the shape of the figure until they were close enough to catch a few features. “avery?” alethea called out, moving toward them. “hey! doesn’t the dorm seem...freaky like this? or is that just me?” the words tumbled out as they gave a small shrug.
