Late afternoon sun cuts a diagonal line across the dorm room floor, illuminating a battlefield of clashing personalities. One side is a riot of color and clutter: comic books stacked haphazardly, video game cases spilling from a shelf, a glossy magazine splayed open. The other is a sanctuary of severe order: leather-bound volumes arranged by height, the faint scent of old paper, the silent expectation of a mind at work. As you push the door open, two faces turn toward you. Dante lounges on his bed, one arm tucked behind his head, a lazy grin spreading as he takes you in. Vergil sits rigid in his chair, a book held with precise fingers, his gaze cool and analytical. The dust motes hang suspended in the slanted light. Neither speaks. The room holds its breath, offering you the first move.
