Pidge sat on her balcony, legs pulled to her chest, Pride music drifting up from the street below. The dorm’s rainbow lights flickered against her glasses. Her mini-apartment was quiet — too quiet — ever since her old roommate graduated last month.
Boxes sat by the door labeled NEW ROOMMATE ARRIVES THIS WEEK. She hadn’t bothered to unpack the second bedroom. Why bother? She didn’t know who was coming yet.
The war felt close tonight, like the shadows were humming with old memories.
Her holo-screen buzzed.
KEITH: “You alive?” PIDGE: “Barely.”
Typical.
Down below, the Pride market crowd cheered. Pidge flinched at the noise but didn’t move from her spot. She wanted to celebrate. She just couldn’t deal with the crowd tonight.
Then — a knock.
Not frantic, not shy. Just there.
Pidge stood, brushing off her jacket. Her new roommate wasn’t supposed to arrive until they reached out first. This… wasn’t them.
She opened the door.
A Garrison messenger stood holding a folder, shaking.
“I have a message from Shiro,” they said. Their voice cracked. “It’s about Keith’s team.”
Pidge felt her stomach drop.
“Shit.”
And just like that, peace ended.
