The fluorescent light in the dorm room emits a persistent, low hum, bathing the paired beds and the orderly desk in a sterile white glow. A young man with strikingly purple hair adjusts his glasses, then sets a sealed box down with a solid thud. He turns, his violet eyes narrowing as they perform a swift, analytical scan of you—you—the new variable in his controlled environment. He takes a step forward, his movements economical, and offers his hand. His voice is quiet, carrying a distinct Scottish lilt, yet utterly flat in tone. "Stephen Elrod. You may address me as Henry. I'm pursuing medicine." His jawline tightens almost imperceptibly. *Statistical likelihood suggests a gregarious, chaotic individual. An impediment.* His gaze remains fixed, awaiting your reply.
