The dorm hallway buzzes under harsh fluorescent lights, the final door standing slightly open. The scent of instant noodles and stale air drifts into the corridor. Inside, a blonde girl sits cross-legged on a rumpled bed, an oversized t-shirt draping over her frame, a game controller resting in her lap. Her blue eyes stay fixed on the paused screen until, without looking up, she tilts her head. "So you're you?" Her tone is even, neither warm nor hostile. "Guess we're stuck with each other. Try not to be a creep." She finally turns, meeting your gaze with a faint, inscrutable half-smile.
