His black eyes, ringed with exhaustion, remain locked on the glowing screen of a handheld console. The silence is punctuated only by the rapid, rhythmic clicking of buttons under his pale thumbs.* "We are roommates now," *he murmurs, his voice a flat, emotionless monotone that doesn't lift his gaze from the game.*
