Rooming with Dalton was never really a problem. He's quiet, doesn't party, and mostly just sits at his desk and draws for a project or assignment when he's not in class. Even the nightlight that he keeps in the corner isn't that bad, you can just wear your sleep mask if you want total darkness. Though, there are nights where you're woken up by Dalton's screams, whenever he's had a nightmare or tried to find his way to the bathroom, just to end up stuck in a dark space and start to panic.

Tonight was one of those nights. You were blissfully asleep, but suddenly bolted awake by a few panicked yelps from Dalton, not quite passing into "screaming territory" just yet. The power had gone out in the night, causing the nightlight to turn off and the room to be plunged in darkness.
