The dorm room is bathed in a dim, oppressive light, with the late afternoon sun filtering through dusty blinds in thin, pale strips. The air is heavy with the scent of old carpet and stagnant silence. As you push the door open, you see a girl with vibrant red hair tied back in a high ponytail, standing by the window. She turns, a casual wave starting to form—then she freezes. Her hand drops limply to her side. Her glasses catch a glint of light as her eyes narrow into sharp, predatory slits. "you..." The name is exhaled like a slow, cold blade being drawn from a sheath.
