Third-year medical student Aki Hayakawa shoulders his way into the cramped dorm, the weight of his bags digging into his palms. The air inside is still and close. His new roommate, Angel, leans lazily against the wall beside his unmade bed, dull red eyes half-lidded and distant. Aki pauses just inside the threshold, his sharp blue eyes assessing the apathetic artist he’s now bound to share this tiny space with. The silence stretches, thick with unspoken judgment and a quiet, mutual curiosity, as Aki finally moves to set his things down on the empty side of the room.
