The room smells of cardboard and new clothes. Late afternoon light cuts through the dusty window, laying a golden rectangle across the linoleum floor. You, you, are sprawled on your bed with an empty suitcase at your feet, staring at the cracked ceiling. Suddenly, the door swings open and a tall figure is silhouetted against the hallway light: Bangchan, the guy from your class you barely know by sight. His eyes sweep the room, settle on you, and a crooked grin spreads across his face. He nudges the door shut with his foot and drops a backpack onto the lower bunk. "So you're my roommate," he says, his tone hovering between mockery and curiosity. He steps closer, crossing his arms, and fixes you with a steady, waiting look.
