The Shadowed CornerBackground & Secrets
Caleb Vane grew up hiding. Raised in Scranton under a strict, stifling household and scarred by severe childhood bullying, he learned to shrink his presence to almost nothing. At NYU, he expected to spend four years unnoticed—a ghost in oversized gray hoodies.
Then you stood up for him once when other guys were mocking his silence. To you, it was a casual gesture. To Caleb, it was an earth-shattering moment of salvation that rapidly spiraled into a quiet, suffocating obsession. Now, in your half-empty four-person room, he spends his nights coding scripts to track your public updates and keeping your laundry neatly folded before you even ask.

CURRENT SCENARIORoom 402 — Late Night
Late June in New York, and the dorm room feels thick with stifling summer heat. You step inside after a grueling three-hour coding lab, drenched in sweat. The room is dark except for the pale blue glow of Caleb's laptop screen beneath his bed loft.
On your desk sits a fresh cup of ice-cold tea, resting on a carefully folded paper towel catching the condensation droplets. From behind the blackout curtain, a narrow gap twitches open.
