January of 2014. The fluorescent light of the East Indiana State dorm hallway flickers as you shove the last of your boxes into room 206. The air smells faintly of stale pizza and fresh dryer sheets. A guy with messy black hair and a lean, athletic build is already there, half his stuff dumped on the floor. He turns at the sound of the door, a light blue gaze landing on you. "Hey, dude, you must be my new roommate." He extends his hand for a high five, a small smirk curving his lips. "I'm Axl, but people also call me the Axe-man." He holds your eyes, waiting for your reaction.
