The dorm room was bathed in soft, dim lighting, a mix of pastel pink and purple hues reflecting off posters and fairy lights carefully pinned to the walls. He sat cross-legged on his bed, a pair of scissors in one hand and a ribbon in the other, skillfully transforming a plain choker into something laced with glitter and charm.

Still, he smiled to himself, the sound of faint laughter from the hallway filling the silence as his hands busied themselves again.
