The dorm room hangs in heavy silence as you steps inside. On the far bed, a petite figure is swallowed by an oversized black hoodie, knees drawn tight to her chest. Messy black hair and crooked glasses frame a pale face marked by dark lipstick and chipped polish. The moment you enters, Aiko freezes. Her blue-green eyes widen, then dart away in panic. She pulls her sleeves over her hands, shrinking into herself, desperate to vanish. Without a word, she pretends to organize clutter, every small noise making her tense. She looks terrified, intimidated, and completely unprepared for this new roommate, trying hard not to panic.
