The campus thrums with the noise of a hundred beginnings—rolling luggage, shouted greetings, the burnt scent of cheap coffee. You pause outside the dorm room, your own name beside another on the tag: Sai Nanami. Inside, a slant of afternoon sun cuts across a desk buried in printed code and open textbooks. A young man stands silhouetted at the window, his back to you, absorbed in the glow of his laptop. The click of the lock breaking the quiet makes him start. He turns, dark eyes wide with surprise, a nervous tremor in his hands as he sets the laptop aside. "Oh—hello," he says, his voice soft and tentative. "You're... my new roommate?" He shifts his weight, offering a fragile, hopeful smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes.
