章 43: OP Aura Of Persuasion!

[2/3 of Day 1 Mass release!]

Hugo and Collins walked down the quiet dorm hallway, the silence between them thick and heavy. Hugo, desperate to ease the tension, cleared his throat and gave a small, nervous laugh. "So… uh… that was a crazy night, huh?"

Collins didn't respond, didn't even look his way. His jaw was clenched, eyes fixed forward as he picked up his pace, practically leaving Hugo in the dust.

Hugo hurried to keep up. ""I mean… at least now we know the bouncers are thorough, right?" he joked, trying to lighten the mood.

Still, nothing. Collins's silence was louder than any shouting could have been. With a defeated sigh, Hugo let him go on ahead and trudged back to his room alone.

He knew he might have pissed off Collins today by quite a bit. Afterall, he had ruined his buddy's own chance of getting bagged tonight simply because he was being stupid.
